Another one of the best hotels I have been to! The room was a little small, but it was updated and felt nice. The staff were kind & helpful, even though I arrived close to midnight. Location is also nice since I was heading south from Chicago. I got this for $90 but it was perfect. The breakfast, though, was memorable. The cinnamon rolls were one of the best I have ever eaten, and I took some for the road if I craved them. Overall, I recommend for $100-150.
Right off the highway. Very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was hit and fresh. All the staff were so friendly. Def would stay here again if we stopped in town.
My daughter and I arrived here at 4 am after having to abandon our flooded camp site and finding no vacancies at other hotels. The front desk staff was kind and fast to get us a room for the night. Our room was spotless and comfy and we slept great after an exhausting ordeal. The next morning we were able to grab breakfast (which was delicious for a hotel breakfast!) and every staff we met were incredibly kind and helpful- seriously some of the nicest people- cheerful and friendly and so lovely. Thank you for providing us a cozy place to rest after a terrible camping experience!
Was under construction but great experience they serve breakfast and was good and fully cooked served was scrambled eggs, omelet biscuits and gravy, sausage links, cinnamon rolls, cereal, milk, chocolate milk, cranberry juice, orange juice, water, coffee, hot cereal. Friendly staff so dont be afraid to ask. Clean rooms
Really nice Staff, courteous housekeepers and the rooms very clean so they also do good work. Happy to stay again
Great service from start to finish with literally every person I came in contact with particularly Craig, David, Jennifer, Lewis, and even the kind woman serving breakfast. They all made absolutely sure that our stay was comfortable and treated us like family with the highest standard of hospitality. I will continue to be a repeat guest at this lovely hotel.
Really enjoyed our stay. Clean and quiet, yummy breakfast, and excellent service at the front desk from Matthew.
Enjoyed the room, it was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly. Just wish the pool room wouldn't have had cold drifts coming from the door/windows.
