I only spent one night, but was very pleased how clean and well appointed the room was. I arrived late, but lockbox was on the door, and check out in the morning was a breeze. I hope to stop again for a longer stay.

Room was SPOTLESS!! …not fancy but good enough and really very clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Location was good for us while traveling. Didn't see much of the property but what we saw looked nice. It was more or less off season in the area so it was hit or miss for restaurants. Oh, the coffee provided in the room was EXCELLENT…really didn't expect that. Temps dropped and it was cold but they had turned on the heater for us before we arrived. That was thoughtful. Heater kept us warm although it was very loud and we ended just shutting it off at 2 am.
