10/10 Excellent
"Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Restaurant was a bit spendy but the portions were large and tasted excellent. It is a ways out of town, but the hotel was quite."

8/10 Good
"There were not many amenities. Restaurant and pool were at other location. Parking out front was tiny spaces and most vehicles took up more than one space. Room was clean, bed was good. The only staff was the front desk staff and she was pleasant. There is a train that can be a bit loud at night."
