8/10 Good
"It was a beautiful place. A few little glitches. Our fridge didn’t work and we didn’t know until all our food was ruined. They brought a new one but juts dropped it off on the floor. The safe didn’t work and the bathroom vent didn’t work so you had to wait to get ready when the mirror de fogged. The tone had what looked like decal material stains or blood all over the back of it."

"Old but honest hotel. Clean and well kept considering it's 50 years old and mostly original. Surprisingly good restaurant for breakfast and lunch. We didn't stay for dinner but I'm assuming it's good as well. Relatively inexpensive overnight parking and overall good value. Good location and nice pool. Our 5th time here and not the last one."
