Mike is always so friendly and helpful. When we go to Claresholm to visit family, we always stay here. Great breakfast as well.
Rooms are clean and the beds are super comfy. They have a few with two rooms. Some have 3 beds, others with two and singles as well.
I would highly recommend staying here!
