One Night Stay

by Jaye11D

Check in was speedy and went well. Kind of surprised that they charged a small fee for parking and that there was no breakfast buffet. The outside of the hotel and lobby were updated, although the lobby had the smell of bleach or pool chemicals. I had a room on the 3rd floor, overlooking the Rite Aid. While the room was clean and the bed was comfortable, you could tell this was an older establishment. I chose to leave for dinner as the reviews for the restaurant were not the best. I did grab a breakfast sandwich in the restaurant the morning of checkout. It was ok. There was one server who was working her tail off (she was a little older and seemed very pleasant). My server, while she waited on me, she never did come back to ask how the food way. Disappointed with that. The restaurant was dark and is in dire need of updating.

Great resaturant

Hotel has a great reasturant in Harrigans. They have a different buffet each week day. On Tuesday the turkey is wonderful and you can have as much as you can eat. Bar is full service and prices are about normal.
