Its a very cute small hotel, that serves well to the travellers en route. Hotel is a little older, but clean and well maintained. Staff is very kind and friendly, helped me sort out a lower level room (i didnt need kitchenette but wanted to stay close to my car. There is a nice lake in the town (Eleanor lake), two gas stations with a well stacked convenient store, another hotel, and TONS of mosquitoes, bring repellant (gas station store had it for sale) Beautiful views from the hotel evening and morning. There is also a restaurant on aire with a good menu selection.
