Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Cleanliness was fine. The room had recently been renovated. Coffee maker OK. But no tea bags or decaf coffee. Also, despite strips on the bottom of the tub, it was quite slippery when we took our shower. And no handicap grab bars - especially important for visitors in their 70s like us. We drive a full-size pickup truck and parking - especially with all the ATVs in the lot - was tight. Person at check in was professional and pleasant. For the cost of the room, we expected more upscale features in the room. Lots of TV channels - but PBS wasn't on the list.

This is a hidden gem—It’s obviously an old building, but has been renovated very nicely. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and there are plenty of walkable restaurants nearby. I stay here several times a year, and have never been disappointed.
