Clean, comfortable, quiet, spacious hotel with great character, full of interesting history displayed in the common areas. We unintentionally arrived quite late and the staff were very nice. The buffet breakfast is excellent. My husband and I had a wonderful stay last week.

Good South Coast option

Booked on late plans to go to the south coast. We found the hotel to be perfectly clean and comfortable. Also, that was the darkest we got a room this entire trip with 20 hrs of sunlight. Breakfast was fun but the only food for 30+ min all directions. Definitely needs an interior update.

Great hotel, great stay. Highly recommend.

Fantastic hotel, great bar, breakfast and food. Was pleasantly surprised how good it was given it was very rural and seemed in the middle of nowhere. Down the road from a lake that is phenomenal. Staff were great, food was great, free coffee, free parking, nice comfortable beds and big rooms. Highly recommend.

Lodgings in this area are generally expensive so the review is ignoring that aspect. The hotel is old but for most part it doesn’t seem dated. Room interiors were bright and very clean but bathroom can use minor refresh to fittings. Staff was very friendly and ready to help. Breakfast was served in a lovely cafeteria , had lots of selections and quite wonderful.

When I checked in, I was told that there was no WiFi service in the rooms. If you want to use WiFi, you'd have to work in the lobby. However, I was able to get WiFi service in my room with no problem. So, YMMV depending on the room you get.
