This is a very nice hotel with outstanding personal/staff. The room was very clean and well kept and up to date. New flat screen TV’s and great furnishings. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Great breakfast with hot food and nice variety. I would recommend this hotel to any and everyone. For a small town hotel this is a more... More

We stayed this past weekend and I would recommend this hotel. It is clean, the beds were comfortable and we had a pleasant stay. This is not a fancy high class hotel, but for the average person that wants a clean comfortable stay, you cannot beat this place. The service was good, staff was friendly and helpful. The hot breakfast... More

The front desk people were friendly and polite. One person in our party was ill and the front desk clerk opened the restaurant and made toast for him. She also gave him yogurt and fruit. The restaurant (which had a free hot breakfast) was also open for dinner at night. It looked fairly good but we were unable to try... More

This is a hotel that I must admit was a very pleasant surprise. I ended up here during some adverse weather and was happily surprised to find an immaculate room with comfortable furnishings and wonderful staff! The hotel has a restaurant in it as well as a Mexican restaurant beside it. The decor is somewhat dated, but flows with the... More

We have stayed at this hotel several times and will be doing so again in the near future. It's not fancy, but is solid in every area we look for in a family hotel. The rooms are good-sized, clean and include a table and 2 arm chairs. The beds are large and comfortable. The wi-fi works well, even in the... More

This is not a five star property by any means. I've stayed here several times over the past decade and wouldn't think of going anyplace else in the area. It's clean, friendly, and for a Best Western chain - extremely homey. They serve a warm, tasty breakfast. They give you a couple of drinks at happy hour. And, their restaurant... More

We loved this hotel right from the start. We had stayed here previously and decided to return for a family reunion. It offers a great free breakfast with fried eggs, hot biscuit, sausage, fruit, yogart, cereal, coffee, instant oatmeal, waffles, and several types of juice. The best thing I liked was the pool, which was a little bit bigger than... More

Used to be a great value but I have a feeling they are running into money problems. They closed down the hot tub and cemented it over for whatever reason. They raises rates from around $60 per night to over $80 per night. The restaurant food quality has gone downhill. Used to be great but the steak I had was... More

I am sorry that you were dissappointed with your recent stay. We did remove the hot tub because it developed mechanical problems which were impossible to repair. We continue to strive to improve the property and provide our guests with those amenities that are most valued by them. We are reviewing possible above ground hot tub solutions. Thank you for...
