Nice town to stay in

It was OK, bed was nice, huge TV, good hot water pressure, clean, easy check in/out. Lovely receptionist...there were some repairs less than stellar however. There was toilet paper filling a hole in the baseboard in the RR, as well as the chewed up doorstop in the RR and there was pealing paint on the RR door.

Great place to stay

The room was very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable, nice size TV, microwave/refrigerator. Great location, close to everything. The onsite restaurant was really really good and great service. The only bad thing at all was the towels were very small and non absorbant. We would definately stay there again.

Pretty good for a weekend motorcycle trip

It was okay. Main complaint is that the Wi-Fi kept kicking me off so I had to go thru the login process many times. Bed and pillows were nice and comfortable. Clean and plenty of hot water.
