10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is imo a great hotel. it was clean. the kitchen in the room was great. everything worked at the hotel except one of the doors to go outside. but it didn't matter cause there was two other doors to exi.the staff was respectful and helpful and also quiet if you like to sleep in. also the owner or manager I think he's the owner is there a few times a day so if you have a problem he can take care of it rt there. even the front desk people were respectful and helpful with any concerns. I would definitely stay here again there is a pool and hot tub also but I didn't use them so can't review them"
