Our room was excellent, clean and well kept. The bed was really comfortable, and bath amenities were excellent. Despite the hotel being nearly full, we didn’t hear any hall or other noise! The breakfast had a good variety of food options as well. We travel to Canada regularly, and will make this our return stop from now on.

I have stayed several times at this location while traveling and look forward to staying her again in the future. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I travel with my dog and they accommodate us with a pet-friendly room. There is a grassy area/field next to the property and I appreciate the space to walk and run my pup. My rooms have always been clean. Will definitely be back.

We usually come to this property 3 times a year. It was purchased by a very nice man. Even the employees said he was super nice. As a regular, the transition seemed seamless. Same employees, same great, caring customer service. The breakfast is pretty good too. I recommend the biscuits and gravy. Great pillows and towels. Sad they got rid of the hot tub.
