10/10 Exceptional

The staff was very friendly and kind. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and welcomed with friendly smiles. The lobby was very clean. The room was very clean and spacious. I found it very peaceful. I just got off a 10 night shifts in a row from the hospital and I wanted to go somewhere to relax. I got just that and was able to just enjoy the peace and quiet. Thank you and I will be coming back soon.

Nice Choice

Stop over from a road trip in the mountains. We stayed 1 night with our traveling pup, and I’m glad we stayed here. The room was clean, spacious and I loved the laminate flooring. The shower was wonderful! Bed and pillows were nice and comfy. Good pet friendly place. The restaurant was okay, it has a nice view and the patio would be nice to sit out if it was cooler out. Pool looked wonderful too. Would definitely stay again!
