No complaints
Was in town for race weekend. Other options we 2 or 3 times the peice, so I took a chance. Hotel was fine. Rooms were clean, service was fine, beds were comfortable. Nothing fancy, but staying in the hotel wasn't the purpose of my trip. I dont have any complaints.

Okay, but needs renovation
The staff was friendly and the parking lot has easy access, but the building is in need of renovation. It is an older building with scratched metal doors, worn carpeting, a bathroom fan that did not move air, and too much furniture in the small room that made it feel overcrowded. Also, the ice machine was out of order and there is no continental breakfast available.

Hotel should reduce my fees- amenities not availab
The staff was super friendly. However, the hotel is under new management so the pool and hot tub were down for renovation; there was no breakfast offered; the ice machine was out of service; the hair dryer had been pulled off the wall and was laying on the clothes rack along with the wall mount: no light bulb in the large lamp. My fee should be reduced because of all the amenities listed in their website were not available and weren’t told to me before my arrival.

I love this quiet little hotel. I've never had a problem and I've stayed there several times. The only issue I have is I really wish they'd start replacing the mattresses around there.
There was some random old furniture sitting out near one of the exits. It's been there for a while. It looks kind of junky

The information on the website and the brochure in the room needs to be updated. It indicated a continental breakfast was available but it is not. Rooms need some updating.

Drab and dated
Room was very small and dated. There was nowhere to put my suitcase other than the floor. No surface space in the bathroom to lay out toiletries. Poor water flow. Bed was ok. Wall AC unit made high-pitched noises at times. Hot tub was out of commission and unusable. Receptionist was nice.
