Clean and comfortable. We have stayed here several times and had become accustomed to breakfast being included in the dining room overlooking the lake. In fact, recalling enjoying breakfast with the lake view was what made my decision to choose your hotel over others nearby. However we were informed that corporate was trialing a new paid breakfast in a small room on the other side of the hotel with a view of the parking lot. Very disappointed. Please bring back the complimentary breakfast with the lake view!!

I like the location, cleanliness, and decor. I also like the little lake feature off of the dining area.

The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The staff was kind and attentive. Breakfast was simple but good (eggs, sausage patty, toast, apple, cereal). We really liked the updated dining area and lobby with comfortable seating and a view of a little lake. We will stay again!

Thank you for your nice review! We really appreciate it! Please stop and see us again the next time you are in the area! And we hope by then we are able to be back to full breakfast standards, as we all know during this pandemic there are many restrictions in place, & we do apologize. Thanks, Ashley D

This is a top-notch place that feels very new and nice. I also appreciated that it's just a few steps from several good restaurants - and a close drive to many additional restaurants and shops.
