Very nice and helpful check-in staff. Clean hotel, very nice room (makeup mirror settings in bathroom!), free parking, and about 15 min drive to town center. Restaurants and gas nearby. Would definitely stay there again. I think you need a car for the location I think.

An overnight stay for work, room was clean and tidy. A smallish room down on the ground floor, would have no problems staying again. Met some friends for drinks before dinner and was very comfortable in the bar. Staff helpful and friendly. A short drive or taxi to town.
