Cardinal and stay

We were just passing through on our way home and we spent one night. We got in late and left a mid morning so there isn’t much to report although the place seemed clean and comfortable as well as our room was very nice. I picked Albion as a stop over due to its location on our route home, so I don’t know much about the town or what it has to offer. But the Cardinal Inn is a very nice facility and I would stay again if I were ever in the area.
