Nice property just a little outside of town.
Nice property with clean and comfortable room. Helpful staff. Nice breakfast for size of location.
Only oddity is that there is no onsite laundry, but they utilize the facilities of the KOA campground next door that can be busy at times.

Does in a pinch
Staff is 5 star. Lobby had fresh coffee both in the morning and in the evening. There is an ice machine in the breakfast area along with a water fountain where you can fill up your water bottle. Breakfast was sufficient - choices are limited but it hit the spot. The rooms are TINY.

For $250 per night it should have hot breakfast! McDonald’s is better. Could use an elevator. Some of your guests are over 60
