Nice staff. Helpful and courteous. I had a suite, it was very spacious could sleep six and still have room to move around. The floors, the bathroom, everything was extremely clean. I tend to clean my own hotel when I check in, but there was no need here. It was spotless not one peck of dirt was on my cleaning wipes.

A relaxing respite from the road.

The stop was part of a longer trip. We came in to relax and rest for the next leg of the trip. Our room was very nice recently renovated better than we had hoped and breakfast. The next morning was just the right amount of nourishment we needed to get us on the road.

We have stayed here several times now. Right off the highway makes it handy while researching family. The inconvenience we had this time was parking due to the remodeling but do understand it’s needed. We appreciate the cleanliness, etc. Breakfast was perfect!

Very Nice Place to Stay

My friends and I stayed here for a weekend trip, and were pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. Staff was excellent and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Rooms were clean and comfortable, and the bathrooms had extra amenities that were a very nice addition. Though our stay was short, it was a very pleasant experience and I would absolutely stay here again in the future!
