I Stopped Here Unexpectedly during the snowstorm on my way through town, I'm really glad I did. The room was very clean, quiet, and offered every thing I needed for a comfortable night. The hotel is reasonably priced, and I enjoyed the wonderful coffee in the morning before getting back on the road. A Great Place To Stay. HIGHLY RECOMMEND....

Room was nice and clean and the staff friendly. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because their tv technology needs to be updated, tv kept pausing non stop and picture wasn't the clearest, like I was watching everything in 480i.
