There was no hot water during my stay. I complained to the front desk but it wasn’t fixed. I don’t know if it was due to the cold weather or not.

I have never left a rating on a hotel or motel stay because it either was not that great or just got by. I want to say this hotel went over and above from comfort all the way to friendly employees I plan to only use them from this moment forward.

Very clean, excellent staff, the breakfast is fully cooked hot breakfast with a lot of different options. The only thing is there is no vent in the bathroom, so very humid when you shower.
