Bed was comfortable. Check in-- person was busy and gave us wrong room so we had to go down and get a new key. The person blamed the day person. I am not sure i needed to know that vs just taking care of it. Breakfast was fine. Landscaping was a mess and made us question our decision to stay there when we pulled up. Beds were extremely comfortable!

First, I keep coming back here when I travel to see my parents. Value is outstanding! Big rooms that are a bit outdated, but the bed and pillows are super comfortable. Coffee is outstanding. But the highlight of the trip is the warm welcome from the lady at the front desk! It feels like coming home!
