This is a high quality hotel. Only discomfort came because the AC system in our room was unable to cool room enough for it to be comfortable.

Although I did spot a few hairs and tiny black stains on the bed linens, those minor (and fairly common) imperfections weren't enough to dock a star from otherwise very clean, comfy, quiet place to spend night.

Small town America

Was a pleasant stay. Like supporting the small town. Historical place. Chill vibe. They need to post their WiFi code in the rooms. The town does not use T-Mobile just a heads up.

This was a unique location in an old school. We slept in a large classroom. The location was perfect for our trip the next morning. It also seems like a great locatio for a conference.
