Thought it was neat you had Daily Bread Devotionals available for free near the front desk. Thought it was crazy that a 2 bed room was cheaper than a single bed room.

Great Stay

Everything was excellent and more than welcome could have asked for. I only have one complaint and that's about the breakfast. The food was good but the breakfast attendant should have kept the tables wiped off and wiped off the breakfast counter now and then to make it more presentable. Great coffee!!!
