We enjoyed our stay. Good room. Clean and quiet. Good bed and close to town so we didnt need a car to shop or eat. Cool check-in was without seeing a desk person, we just used the given code provided on our phone and entered our room. We sent three messages to the hotel questioning rules on pets and all three messages were ignored; very frustrating.

Will stay again !
The room was spotless and clean. The young lady in the office was extremely nice when we went to grab some ice. My only complaint was the bed, it wasn’t comfortable. Please tip the hard working ladies that clean the rooms as we did because it was beyond spotless !

The main big room needs blinds on the window by the nook bench. You can see through the sides. No privacy. We couldn't use the hair dryer due to a power outage the morning we were checking out. Cleaning staff are really friendly.
