4/10 Fair

Was not aware the facility was under construction. Entire room smelled terribly of paint. Every noise can be heard, parking was fine, staff was polite, was able to check in early. Pool closed at 8:30, which to me is really early compared to most hotels so we didn’t get to use that.

We liked the area as its nearby my Uncles house. We have stayed here a few times in the past. It does the job and the places we like to visit are nearby as well. Saves on gas especially if you have a rental car.
