Got a complaint that we were being to noisy, but then was kept up most of the night with multiple softball teams also staying. Killed a few spiders in our room as well. Overall a okay stay. But will most likely not be going back.

We travel to this area often and stay at a new place each time. However, we feel like we have found “the one.” Staff was very helpful and friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Love the pancake machine, the cinnamon roll warmer, and other good hot foods. Great variety of foods and very well stocked. We will be back!
