We really liked this hotel. Although it is older, it had been spruced up and had a very cozy feeling. I only wish that we would have been able to stay longer. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was spotless. There was a refrigerator and a coffee pot. Because we were leaving early in the morning there was a to go breakfast bag ready for us when we checked out.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property was cute & quaint (in a good way). The charm was a little diminished by the Quality Inn approach to cutting as many corners as possible with in room amenities (toilet paper and tissue paper shouldn’t be single ply sandpaper). Can’t fault the staff, though, and they were all very helpful and hard working.
