The hotel offered a quiet and comfortable stay with a giant, clean pool, though the rooms were in need of a makeover due to outdated 70s decor. The service was mostly excellent, with very friendly and helpful staff, except for a few crabby and rude encounters during breakfast. The location was well-situated for job interviews and exploring, despite being near a power line and the dated vibes. The dining experience was satisfactory with good offerings, especially in the adjoining restaurant. Overall, a somewhat dated but comfortable hotel with a convenient location and friendly service.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had brand-new carpet and furnishings, making them very comfortable. However, it was a bit noisy when the bar crowd came home, affecting the overall tranquility. The service was excellent, with attentive staff throughout my 10-day stay, although there were a couple of slow mornings at breakfast. The location was convenient for my purposes, being close to the job interviews and exploring opportunities in the area. The dining options, although including small meals, were satisfactory. The attached restaurant added to the overall experience.

I found the hotel to be a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, the rooms were quite dated with a throwback to the 70s in terms of decor, but they were clean and comfortable with brand-new carpets and furnishings. The service was friendly and helpful, especially during breakfast, but the need for renovations was evident based on the exterior appearance. The location was convenient for my purposes, close to the attractions I wanted to visit, but the hotel felt somewhat dated despite the comfort it offered. The dining experience at the restaurant next door was enjoyable, with good food quality. Overall, it's a somewhat dated yet comfortable hotel with friendly staff and good dining options.
