Give this hotel a try!

This is a very nice hotel. Everything is new and clean. The staff are very customer focused. They started serving breakfast 45 minutes earlier than scheduled because we had to leave early Saturday morning. The beds are a little too soft for my liking, but that is the only negative for me.

Quick stop on longer trip. Hotel is under renovation so it’s not pretty to look at inside but check in was quick and clerk was friendly. Rooms were unaffected: clean, quiet, roomy. Shower had good water pressure and Dove products. Liquid soap by sink- so glad to see a hotel with this instead of the little bar soap. Grab and go breakfast (due to renovations) had a good number of choices. Would stay again.

Best Customer survice!

We celebrated my granddaughters birthday. The lady that took my call when i had questions, was the same lady that checked us in. I wish i would have gotten her name.She was wonderful!! She wished my granddaughter a happy birthday, at breakfast the next day she asked how swimming was. She smiled everytime we seen her! The best customer service I have ever had staying somewhere!! We are from Defiance, so this was in our hometown. She still asked if we needed anythign. I just truly appreciate her kindness!!

not impressed

Not any their fault, but the hotel was being renovated and there was no access to a commons area if you didn't want to just sit in you room the whole time. Room was clean, and comfortable. Antenna style tv, no menu to see what what on. Not to impressed. The ladies behind the counter however were amazing and were very helpful and always had a smile given there situation, again, they had no control over. Hotel owner needs to pic it up and get the renovation finished before i would stay there again.

The room was comfortable. However, the shower was filthy and there was someone’s hair all over the walls. The next day they did not clean our room. When it was brought to their attention they lied and reported it was due us posting a do not disturb note. This wasn’t true and very rude. We expected that they would accept responsibility not try to blame us.

Spotless hotel and fantastic hosts.

Stayed in plenty of places but never met 2 nicer, more welcoming and warmer desk clerks . No exaggeration. The place appears brand new. Breakfast area is bright and spotless. Just a very nice place to stay.
