The room was nice and clean. Lack of heating but provided us with a space heater and an additional discount. Place was easy to find and staff was friendly. Coffee at breakfast was not very good. Both my adult daughter and I did not like it!

This was my second stay at the Court House hotel. The room was very comfortable though the bathroom floor can get slippery. The process for tagging your car is not much fun in the deep cold! Otherwise, no complaints. The front desk staff were very helpful.
