Nicely decorated, quiet, and very clean. Good location for us to ride bike trail. But breakfast was a C+, very carb heavy though hard boiled eggs were available. But VERY pricey for the overall. Not many other choices in the area...

The rooms were clean with neat themes (ours was the Cinema Room with a chest of drawers made to look like a box of popcorn). We did not go in the pool, but it looked nice. The breakfast was a typical hotel breakfast, but hit the spot. The staff was super friendly and we would definitely stay again.

For $160/night I expected a lot more—my room had a ‘dog house’ theme with painted furniture and a poorly painted dog house headboard. Free breakfast had a lot to be desired—nothing warm except for waffles…. It was clean and front desk folks were friendly.

Everything was exceptional, the only problem was we couldn’t use the pool or hot tub when we returned back to the hotel around 10:15 pm I was so disappointed a hot tub would of been perfect way to end the evening.

We were in town for a funeral. We loved our "schoolhouse room", it was just adorable! And, the beds were comfy and room very nice. We highly recommend if you are in the area.

We were lucky enough to stay in the honeymoon room, and it was a relaxing night stay. Only downfall we noticed, was there wasn't any hand lotions in the room, as we've had in other rooms we've stayed in. Not a huge deal at all, maybe forgot to put in the room by mistake, not doing the for guests anymore, not sure, but didn't ruin anything with our stay, just a small thing we noticed. Great job to the staff, and management for another wonderful stay.

Didn’t like the theme room. It was childish. Someone was vacuuming at midnight. Could hear pool noise until the pool closed. The parking in the back was not labeled at all. Had to enter thru a park and no signage said anything about hotel parking.

Nice, clean roadside stay with great staff.

This place had an amazing staff. They were very friendly and genuinely seemed to care. The place is a tad out of date and seems to run on a budget, but the place seemed loved. Each of the rooms are decorated differently in little funky themes, but is well done. It looks like someone took a lot of thought and time to make it special. The breakfast was fine and our stay was good as well. It was a nice, clean roadside stay.
