The hotel and the staff were excellent John who checked us in in the evening was very good and the lady who checked us out at night was also very good. The only problem we had was breakfast. The eggs were very dry and so were the potatoes dry and they were hard, everything else was good

Everything was good except that there are a lot of noise in the morning, I believe it is from the floor above or below.

Such an excellent hotel. We walked in and my husband said, “this hotel is dog friendly?!” He couldn’t believe such a clean hotel was dog friendly. Great location with a walking trail out back around the lake and a yummy burger restaurant next door. 10/10 would stay again.

Great hotel
We had a wonderful stay. The room and the hotel itself was very nice, clean and staff was very pleasant. Our 9 year old thought it was the best hotel ever! We will be back for another visit.
