Surprisingly Pleasant

This was a last minute decision to stay in this city. Weather caused me to rethink my plans to drive late into the night. I booked it because it was inexpensive and available. It was surprisingly pleasant. The breakfast was very basic but the price was right and the service was excellent.

I enjoyed my stay here in a queen suite while my partner is here for work. My room was clean, and had extra pillows in the drawers along with the hair dryer. The log furniture is beautiful and the bed was comfy. Breakfast was wonderful. Coffee and creamer, oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, waffles, biscuits and gravy. They had sugar free syrup, regular maple syrup, strawberry syrup, whipped cream chocolate sauce and sprinkles. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The only bummer was the hot tub being out of service.
