I have stayed in this hotel many times over the past decade and a half, primarily because it was the only one close to my client’s business. For all those years, the staff have always been quite nice but the hotel itself did not have much to commend it. It was dingy, often in need of painting, not at all attractive. It was a place to sleep and shower. It had deteriorated during the pandemic to the degree that the client recommended we stay up the road about 40 minutes. But since 2018, when last I was here, and now, there have been significant improvements and the hotel is now much more attractive. The staff are as polite and friendly as ever – that has never changed. The reservation was in order. So, what do I look for in a hotel? Is it safe? Is it reasonably clean? Is the water pressure good? Can you get a good night’s sleep? Does the air conditioning work well? Does the internet work well? I can say that for this hotel, all these are true, but added to this, is has been renovated, with new floors (no carpet), repainted surfaces, and new room fixtures. The room looks good – if you don’t look too close. Some of the fine points were not done well or overlooked but nonetheless, it is brighter, more welcoming and has a cleaner appearance. As far as safety, I have always felt safe as to my person and my car and the police make their way through the parking lot in this small town from time to time, keeping an eye on things. The room was relatively clean – some attention could be paid to out-of-the-way places and corners, but all in all, it was clean enough. The water pressure was the best I’ve had in any hotel in a long time. As a matter of fact, I intended to record the name of the company that provided the shower head to consider for my home. The air conditioning worked well – when we arrived, it was not turned on and the room was warm, but it worked well though the compressor cuts on and off quite noticeably and frequently. It took a white noise fan to cover the noise change that would have kept me up otherwise. I slept well; one of my colleagues staying in another room had trouble with a loud car that was cranked up and left running and rumbled loudly outside one morning. I never heard it – white noise fan, you know. The internet was a little difficult to connect, but I was able to make it happen and once connected, it worked well. We did not receive a visit from the maid one day of our mult-day stay, but after that she came through every day. The only complaints I could have are that the cleanliness was uneven, and there is a ridge on the floor between the room and bathroom/shower and you can stub your toe on this – that is one thing that that was not revised in the renovation. One good thing, the bathroom/shower are separate from the sink and the very big counter and mirror, so one person can be working at the sink at the same time another is showering, and both can stand at the counter at the same time.
