I gave excellent even though they have construction zone. They had a fire last DEC and lost 1 entire building. Can't give low stars for that. If one does, they are heartless Will stay again if the opportunity arises.

The bed seemed too firm at first, but we both slept well. It’s very handy to have a good breakfast option so close next door. The room was dated but clean.

Perfect stop on family roadtrip

Very calm you don’t hear the road. Roomy and confortable, the beds are good. I recomend also the breakfast at the gas station (Tom’s) and for dinner, the West Branch restaurant a few miles away

A bit pricey for a kind of shabby place, but there is not much competition, so I suppose that is their perogative!
