We stayed in a family suite which was like a little apartment. We appreciated the cleanliness. The breakfast voucher was for only 2 people, and we were a family of eight so that didnt work for us.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Clean. Comfortable beds. Lighting inadequate. The area is not walkable and fronts onto a major highway intersection. A small restaurant with limited menu. Try out the yurt.

Always a delight

I always stay here. Staff is always friendly and great. Crepes are perfect and the cappucino rivals any great coffee shop.

The staff was very, very nice and I had great interactions with all of them. The bistro is very cute and breakfast/coffee was delicious! The hotel was renovated, but my room wasn't cleaned particularly well. Some of the surfaces hadn't been wiped down and the carpeting had a lot of staining and it's probably time to replace it with something darker. Overall, the staff made it a really pleasant stay and it worked well for the one night I needed.

Older roadside motel that was converted and updated to a nicer facility. Although the price was steep ($260) for just an overnight lodging, and the bathroom was very small, the shower was hot and strong with a seat. The room was spacious for a double, the beds were very comfortable, and the cosmetic features have all been updated, but it’s still old.
