"My husband and I checked in around 7pm. The gentleman at the front desk was very nice and helpful, and gave useful information about breakfast, etc. Once we got in our room the phone rang and it was the gentleman from the front desk asking if our room was okay and if we needed anything just let him know. The hotel was clean, the staff very kind, and breakfast choices were great. It was not a fancy hotel but I would rather have a clean place and nice people. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely stay at Sleep Inn again."

There is some kind of line interference but when someone talks to you it just makes a muffled growling sound and they cant hear you either.Please have the phone service checked out. Outside of that though, this is without a doubt a dream stay if you are wanting to unplug and enjoy a fresh mountain stream and some coffee on the porch!"
