The room is clean, the hotel is quiet. It is set up like a motel with outside access to your room. We liked the room, it was a generous size. The Brewery being right in the hotel was a nice touch. Breakfast is unremarkable - typical continental with eggs, sausage, biscuits, cereal, waffles... Location is good, gas station across the road as well as a coffee shop, other restaurants just down the road.

The room was good, clean, very comfy bed ... TV 😔didn't work... but the restaurant bar was excellent very beautiful frendly people taking care of customers. Was so tired of the long drive I order something to go to the room and it didn't take too long for my order to be ready. Too bad I didn't take pictures before leaving... excellent place to stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was dated and dirty. Carpet wasn’t vacuumed and the towels and bedding were cheap and haphazardly folded and made. The only saving grace for this hotel is the bar/restaurant attached. The staff and food there were great. Definitely a 1-2 star lodging experience. Not good.

This was a great place to stay. AC was on and the room was cool already when we got there. The room was spacious and had fridge and microwave. I liked how it was set up. The TV was terrible. We couldn't get it to work and either could the employee. There was a hot breakfast which was good.
