Eastside Lodge
The stay was just as I anticipated. The room was nice enough. Perfectly comfortable. The staff was nice and attentive. Got checked in and out quickly and easily. The noise did travel a bit much from the parking lot but it didn’t bother me too bad. I had a good stay.

The Paramount Hotel
Staff was courteous, helpful, friendly and good listeners. I recommend that $10/day for breakfast, lunch or dinner be “more” especially if there is a family.
