Friendly, generous staff. Truly an "Inn." We had all we needed and more. Pool, breakfast, parking just out the door. Every room with its own theme and element of travel all its own.

The theme rooms are very well appointed. A lot of thought was put into each individual room. The lobby decorations are phenomenal. Hotel is very clean and quiet. Grocery store across the street.

The hotel is very clean and front desk staff were friendly during our check in process. To our surprise, each of the rooms are decorated with a unique theme. Our room was music themed and was done very tastefully. The hotel is right next to the river and has a park, pier area to walk to the river front. It’s also located in town, so we were able to walk into town to a local sports bar and watch some games. We would definitely stay here again, if ever in the area.

We were lucky enough to stay in the honeymoon room, and it was a relaxing night stay. Only downfall we noticed, was there wasn't any hand lotions in the room, as we've had in other rooms we've stayed in. Not a huge deal at all, maybe forgot to put in the room by mistake, not doing the for guests anymore, not sure, but didn't ruin anything with our stay, just a small thing we noticed. Great job to the staff, and management for another wonderful stay.

Nice, clean roadside stay with great staff.
This place had an amazing staff. They were very friendly and genuinely seemed to care. The place is a tad out of date and seems to run on a budget, but the place seemed loved. Each of the rooms are decorated differently in little funky themes, but is well done. It looks like someone took a lot of thought and time to make it special. The breakfast was fine and our stay was good as well. It was a nice, clean roadside stay.

For $160/night I expected a lot more—my room had a ‘dog house’ theme with painted furniture and a poorly painted dog house headboard. Free breakfast had a lot to be desired—nothing warm except for waffles…. It was clean and front desk folks were friendly.

One Night Stay
We were in town for a funeral. We loved our "schoolhouse room", it was just adorable! And, the beds were comfy and room very nice. We highly recommend if you are in the area.
