Great rates, nice to have an in-house restaurant, we really appreciated the free breakfast in an actual restaurant that served an actual breakfast offering with quality food, thank you! I wish more hotels had partnerships with local restaurants to offer an actual prepared breakfast included in the room price.

The restaurant supplied a typical eggs, meat, potato & toast complimentary breakfast included with the room rate. Very good food and great staff. Room was comfortable, clean, quiet and hotel was conveniently located just off the highway and beside 2 cardlocks. Restaurant on site was a great benefit. Was a bit difficult to figure out room location as there are 2 separate buildings to the hotel but not too bad.

If the owners would put new flooring in the rooms my rating would have been much higher. The carpet in the room was nasty and needed to be replaced 20 years ago
