Upon arrival, I found out their wifi was out; they were waiting for a part. The pool was closed for servicing. My room was clean and comfortable, but the walls are thin. My neighbor had the loudest TV. I was surprised to have a neighbor, as the hotel seemed pretty empty. The staff was very nice, the hotel felt safe, and breakfast was good.

Very clean, welcoming, and comfortable…except the shower was barely luke warm and would not get warmer. Breakfast was great! There was an area to park larger vehicles or vehicles towing a trailer, which was great.
