It’s a really nice place to stay, they had a variety of options for the breakfast and it was the best breakfast I’ve ever had at any hotels I’ve stayed at. I would definitely go back again when I go out that way. Very friendly staff easy check in and out. Nice comfortable beds.

Blast from the past

Staff very friendly, condition is in need of a refresh. Parking limited due to large vehicles and trailers. Sound proofing in room subpar, we could hear the person in room above snoring. The hotel is very dated
