They might not be a big corporation hotel but the hospitality is what sold me. Debie was awesome. She treated us and everyone that came through those doors like family. We took our dog on vacation and she offered to care for him when we had to leave him in the room. I highly recommend this hotel if wanna feel like your home.

We booked this for a one night stay on our way back from Chicago. It’s definitely a no frills hotel and could use updating, but overall it was clean, the staff was friendly and it was in a good location.

For a hotel in this place range, this place was great. The interior could used to be cleaned up a little bit, but the owner seems to be in the middle of doing that room by room. I would imagine in a year this will be a five star hotel in its price range.

The front desk people were very nice but the room has rust and is old and has various worn wood and other materials. The chain lock was pulled out of its socket but I didn’t bother to tell anyone. The room is supposed to be non-smoking but smelled like smoke. When I told the front desk person she said the building is 30 years old and then gave me air freshener spray which did help. Wouldn’t stay there again.
