Highly recommend this hotel if you are staying in the area. Spent the weekend skiing at Boyne and this was the perfect place to stay a short distance from there! Very clean and seems to be newly renovated. Breakfast was good and the staff were very friendly. I would stay here again.

Staff was super friendly, hotel clean and new. Beds and pillows amazingly comfortable (and I am super picky). Water pressure doesn't knock your socks off, but manageable. Beyond my expectations for a HI Express! Nice work.
