The property used to be a nice local place to stay to be near my parents, but it has completely declined. Unless you're looking for a no-tell motel, stay elsewhere.

Property was convienent for our plans we had this past weekend. The young man that works at the front desk was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Room wasn't as clean as we would have liked. We got parking right in front both nights we stayed over and felt better about this since we had a nice car rental.
