We had an awesome time at Colonel Butler Best Western. We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and they had a bottle of champagne waiting for us. They made our special day very special. The room was small but very clean and the breakfast was good too.

It’s a really beautiful hotel with flowers at the entrance. I would say , all meets our expectations. The room is big , clean and very organized. It’s a walking distance to the downtown. The staff at the reception is very helpful when I asked her help with the restaurant info in the town. Having Breakfast at the balcony is a great experience.
