While the construction around the property may warn people off, don't be fooled. Very clean rooms, real mini-frig w/freezer, plenty of parking, anything you'd need in room and friendly staff.

I gave excellent even though they have construction zone. They had a fire last DEC and lost 1 entire building. Can't give low stars for that. If one does, they are heartless Will stay again if the opportunity arises.

The bed seemed too firm at first, but we both slept well. It’s very handy to have a good breakfast option so close next door. The room was dated but clean.

Perfect stop on family roadtrip

Very calm you don’t hear the road. Roomy and confortable, the beds are good. I recomend also the breakfast at the gas station (Tom’s) and for dinner, the West Branch restaurant a few miles away
