“This older property, while showing its age, surprises with genuinely spacious and clean rooms, offering a true sense of value, particularly the King Suites which felt more like home. The staff's willingness to assist, especially with digital matters, stood out, and the indoor pool with its two-story slide is a definite draw for families. Its convenient connection to Perkins restaurant means dining is just a step away, a practical arrangement given the absence of a complimentary breakfast.”
