Room is in good size, clean, well maintained, excellent location, the only thing that i was not happy is with booking with your site expedia, and for that, you will not be the site that i would be looking for, you didn’t follow with the pricing that you posted, even though i called your attention to it with the confirmation receipt and the amount that the hotel charge me for but you didn’t reconsider it and you still billed me with your price, so just to watch out if uou see there is a change with the pricing from what they posted and what they charge on your account even though the hotel sent you the receipt, go ahead and cancel them but one thing for sure, i will not be booking on your site on my future travels.

Very clean room. This is an older facility, but very rustic feeling. Make sure and pay attention that this is a pet friendly hotel. I did not read that before booking and we were woke up at 2:30am to a barking dog next door.

Very clean and large room. It’s an older hotel that has been upgraded but still has retro charm. I loved the patio in the back that overlooked a beautiful field. Great location also!
