Comfortable and Full of Charm

We had a wonderful stay! The hotel has a touch of old-fashioned charm while still offering all the modern comforts. The room was spotless, cozy, and well equipped with a refrigerator, Keurig coffee maker, and an in-room safe. The grab-and-go breakfast was a nice bonus, making mornings quick and easy. Everything was clean and well maintained, and the atmosphere made me feel right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a bit of classic charm!

Nice and clean, comfy, but in need of updates.

The room was clean and very comfortable, however could use a lot of updates. Felt like back in the 70s or 80s from the furnishings and definitely needs new flooring and bathroom update. Grab and go breakfast had lots of options!

My only complaint would be the two large pot holes in the back parking lot past the lobby entrance. Other than that cute hotel, comfortable bed and pillows. Felt like a wholesome place
