Clean, quiet, excellent WiFi connectivity, comfortable beds—all the important things. At registration they gave us two bottles of water as VIP Access members. We could not find any recycling bins--perhaps not available in this area? Be it known that you need to arrive by late afternoon if you want dinner, because Amish-run businesses close early.

Best room we ever stayed in! The separate sitting room area was such a bonus! The large window let in lots of natural light and the hotel was very quiet and peaceful. Definitely recommend!
