My room was infested with gnats!!! I was moved to another room that had gnats but not as many. No carts with all my stuff was terrible!!!!!! Staff was nice and trued to help, but they were hardly at the counter to offer assistance. Someone should be at the front at all times. I will never stay here again!!!! No discount was even given for the infestation of gnats. I had to make my own insect repellent with apple cider vinegar which was also frustrating and uncalled for!!! The mades didn't clean the room bc it had someone's shirt in the room and food in the fridge just nasty and lazy of them!!!!

This place is truly a hidden gem worth discovering! Nestled away from the bustling highway and off the beaten path, it offers a unique sense of privacy and tranquility that can be hard to find. Despite undergoing renovations, which will only enhance its charm, my stay here was nothing short of delightful. The atmosphere is serene, making it the perfect getaway. Trust me, if you're looking for an escape that combines comfort with an element of surprise, this destination is simply unmissable!

The hotel was a bit outdated and could use a little work. But we didn’t mind it at all. We just went there to sleep because we were hunting right down the road. Staff was great. Seemed like a quiet place even seen a deer in the parking lot.

Re: dump
This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at! It’s under construction; however, this place should be torn down! Went for complimentary breakfast at 8am, and the food was all gone. Guest were looking around for the food!! It seems as if this is a rent by the week hotel, so many may live there. Trust me, stay elsewhere!!

Would not recommend
We reserved two rooms; they weren't even in the same building which defeated the purpose of having two rooms. The beds were super small, and the room smelled weird.
