Very clean and large room. It’s an older hotel that has been upgraded but still has retro charm. I loved the patio in the back that overlooked a beautiful field. Great location also!

No complaints room was better than expected and bed was comfortable. Appeared recently redone actually. Needs a better name though, almost didn’t pick it because of the name, it deserves its rating.

Very clean room. This is an older facility, but very rustic feeling. Make sure and pay attention that this is a pet friendly hotel. I did not read that before booking and we were woke up at 2:30am to a barking dog next door.
