Good hotel for family. Stayed during state basketball it was clean and worked great for family. The game room shown in picture costs $5 per hour per person. It was after a snow storm when arrived and the snow removal was poor.

Just Fine

Room was good for the price. No shampoo for the room. Not sure if it was supposed to have it or not. Toilet flush valve decided to ljust start leaking at about 1am so the toilet ran all night long.

Very good last minute stop.

Beds wete great, room clean and nice. Breakfast was pretty wiped out by 9:30 (serve until 10), and no coffee available - so we had to go out. But otherwise good value.

I planned a weekend get-away for me, my daughter and my granddaughter and our stay here was fabulous. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was cozy, comfortable with a lot of space. The grounds around the building were clean, no trash in sight. Breakfast was very good. Everything was hot and fresh. Delicious cookies at the counter were a plus! Thank you for a wonderful stay.
