it is a great location, the desk person was very cordial, and the cost is very reasonable.

John United States of America

Remarkably great for economy price. We were very happy. Safe and clean. Just off the highway.

Jenn United States of America

there was no breakfast because of covid just like most other hotels

3019058774 United States of America

Took a chance on a non-chain hotel and did not regret it. We saved at least $20 for the night compared to the hotel next door. Staff was friendly. The rooms were clean and comfortable.

Amy United States of America

There was no breakfast, so I feel we paid for something that was not avail. That should be taken off the advertisement of the property. Where we are staying tonight, tomorrow morning we have a go bag breakfast

Arne United States of America

Staff was very helpful and facility was super clean 👌

Harry United States of America

The room was very clean but it could use some updates especially in the light fixtures and decor.

Samuel United States of America

The staff was very friendly, yet professional. The room was very clean and spacious. Only real complaint was that the internet was slow. Very good value for the price.

Julia United States of America

Everything was terrific. Twyla was a great representative for the Inn and the town. The only things less than perfect were all Covid related-nothing the Inn could do about that.

David United States of America

It was a great value and location. Right next to two chain hotels for 30 to 40 dollars a night less.

Robert United States of America

Excellent location!
