Hotel was clean and comfortable. Had to join the Best Western loyalty program to get the free breakfast. Breakfast at the on-site restaurant was tasty and a good option if you have the time. Older building, well maintained, but suggest check ahead if you have mobility concerns.

Spacious room. Clean. Good location. Beds comfortable. Nice to be connected to a restaurant with vouchers (we stayed the night before in another branded lodge with a vile continental breakfast). Suggestions: more “things to see and do” info in the room. Note paper and pens would be helpful. Overall it was quite nice.

The room was clean and the receptionist when checking in was friendly and attentive. The AC unit though was extremely loud, making a rattling noise. It kept me up all night . The receptionist upon check was completely stoned faced when we checked out, no pleasantries at all. I will probably not return to this location after staying there 3xs in the last year or so.
