Hotel was good. Bed & pillows good. The place is a little outdated. Could use new carpeting as it is dirty. Check-in was good. Small room, but for the price good. Grounds are clean.

The room was dirty in places and smelled of stale cigarette smoke. My wife bought cleaning products to clean surfaces as well as Febreeze to make the room smell liveable. The shower curtain was dirty and stained. The beds were actually comfy. We stayed two out of three nights.
