Great little place at a great price

This was a well-priced hotel in the location I was seeking to ride the nearby scenic railroad. The lady at the front desk was ready for my arrival and helped with a tip for a nearby restaurant! The room was clean and had all the amenities to make our stay easy.

The location was easy to negotiate, parking extra easy, friendly clerk at check-in, but it is not a newer property and there was a lack of outlets. The tub and toilet room was crowded and needed an extra towel rack or two. Very clean, just not new. Beds were comfortable.

Dorothy

Disliked: Staff & service
Apparently this property was overbooked because when we got there we had no room but had prepaid for it ahead of time. The manager was polite enough but we ended up going to a different hotel for our overnight stay. Very disappointing. And then trying to get our money back became quite a chore. We can't really rate this because we did not stay there and the management tried convincing me it was our fault.
