The hotel offered good value for money. Some areas such as stair carpets are a little worse for wear and the breakfast could be improved but it was certainly worth the money

I waited in the lobby for an hour to check in. When I finally got checked in, she refused to give me a receipt, told me to get one from Expedia. There was no elevator, I had to carry all my bags up two flight of stairs. The property was old and rundown.

Filthy and the bed sheets were gross. Water stained ceilings and the bathroom smells sewage gas. The rooms were dark with poor lighting and dark. Too tired and it was last minute booking with no refund.

I stayed here while on a pheasant hunt. I was there to sleep and get up to hunt, so it served its purpose and that’s all I can ask for. I will be staying here again next year.

Great location. Currently being renovated but they were careful to give only rooms far enough from the work that we didn’t hear any of it. Staff was so nice. Would stay again.

Poor breakfast--coffee was barely brown, only white bread available ( no wheat option), only ultra processed foods offered (hostess, etc). No fruit either.

They are renovating - what is completed is really nice so it will be excellent soon but for now some things are a little dated. Our room was clean and spacious and the facility is right next to the dome so conveniently located for university events. Staff was really nice and welcoming. Would stay here again.
