"Very clean bare-bones hotel in a quiet location. Large rooms. Nice breakfast place across the road and a short drive to more services and stores. Helpful staff. Only criticism -- and it's an important one -- is that there were no friction strips or other kind of safety on the bathtub, so it was unexpectedly slippery."

"Easy check-in. Good breakfast."

"This place is awful!!! The electricity worked sometimes…. The room was barely passable clean, there was an electrical outlet that had wires exposed. Someone punched a hole in the wall of our bathroom. I’m pretty sure the women at the desk was drunk. I went to the desk to ask for towels there was none in our room the women at the desk popped up about 5 minutes later and told me she would bring towels in less then 10 minutes she never showed up… there where also multiple cigarette burns on the the blankets in a “non smoking room” the surrounding area is nice."

"Incredible staff"

"It could use an upgrade for the Breakfast menu."

"The hotel is beautiful. Staff are great. Everyone we met was super friendly from front desk to waitresses in the restaurant, to the very friendly cleaning staff and those working in the spa. Spa was very relaxing, clean and inviting. I would not hesitate to return."

"I'll start off with the positives: - The greeter, who I presume was the owner, was kind and allowed me to start my check-in early (with a fee, but that was to be expected). - The property, despite having the layout of a motel, looked very nice. And the moment I stepped into my room, it felt I was in a high-class hotel. - Most (not all, but I'll get to that in the negatives) amenities were provided. - The price, compared to what else I was finding in the area, was relatively inexpensive. And now for the negatives: - A very minor one, but tissues would be a nice amenity to have had in the room. - The location is close to the highway. Probably great for finding business from weary travelers, but unideal for morning-sleepers like I. - The chairs in the room, though looking nice, felt cheaply made. I heard the one I sat at cracking as I sat, and I feared it might break underneath me."

"The fireplace was lovely and the room was cozy and attractive. The bathroom was spacious and clean, however we weren’t able to locate any extra t.p. I would advise people that the staircase going up to the rooms is quite steep. We were able to manage ok, but anyone with difficulty with stairs would have a challenge. The breakfast voucher for breakfast was great and we enjoyed a lovely meal. We also had a wonderful time at The Kate at a Blues concert. Overall, very satisfied with our overnight stay."

"ROCK HARD BEDS, COULDN'T SLEEP, FILTHY, STAINED TOWELS, NO BLANKETS ON BEDS, RUN DOWN, TERRIBLE VALUE. They have let this place go to have more $$ in their pockets. So sad. I stayed 8.5 years ago and it was nice."
