Okay
This is an okay place to stay if you just need a quick place to sleep. More of an old motel than a hotel.

For what it is an older, Howard Johnson hotel the rooms are nice. There’s a great restaurant and bar in the basement and overall it’s a nice older hotel.

Pick somewhere else!
Parking is not ideal, room was adequate but could use an update. Breakfast options were terrible and should not be advertised as breakfast, barely anything for guests to eat at all. The ice machine area was very next to a very creepy stairwell that had no door, unsafe.

We felt like for the price that we paid for the room. It was old and not up-to-date. Our carpet was stained and dirty. Our building was old and the pool area was old. The breakfast was very minimal and the building was noisy. You could hear other rooms around you.

No Food
The hotel was clean. It advertises a breakfast but does NOT provide one. There were two bins of cold cereal and black coffee. No milk, juice, fruit, danish, sugar... Just dry cold cereal and black coffee. This was in the middle of it's open for eating hours. It was the cheapest hotel but cost us more when you have to add in the cost of going out to eat. I would not stay there again.

Everything was good but I felt the hotel needed a little up grade.. we stood in a smoke free room but it still smelled like cigarettes.

Only If You Are Desperate
It’s a terrible little motel. If you are going to a concert and just sleeping there it’s passable. The price is ridiculous. The worst though was the indifferent and borderline rude staff.

Just needed a place to sleep overnight. We weren't expecting the Ritz, but the room was very small, the property very dated. It was clean enough and had an in room microwave and frig but no coffee maker.

Wouldn’t recommend
This hotel is old and dated. There would be a moldy smell every time the HVAC turned on. Not at all worth the price. The front desk attendant wasn’t helpful when we complained about smell (she cleaned the filters and said problem solved-it didn’t change anything). The only good thing was that it appeared to be decently clean in the room. All furniture is dated including a low def TV. Shower floor looked slightly browned with age. Doors from outside remain unlocked 24 hours.

We stayed for one night and overall everything was good. We got a room towards the front main road and it can be loud at times in the night. Also wish they can add more to the light breakfast don’t mind pay a little extra for that.
