The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We had a great breakfast in the lobby. The only issue I had with the hotel was the price. I think it was a little too pricey for the area.

This location was ideal for an early morning appointment. It was only a few miles away from the location, and there were a few restaurants that were in the area also. The staff were personable, especially Mr Jim and his son. Scott was nice too. The breakfast was good! Mr Jim keeps it stocked as possible and I like that he asked, “what kind of eggs do I like?”

The rooms along the back look out over a hillside with trees and vegetation. Peaceful and relaxing. Breakfast was good (really like the mini omelettes with cheese). Whole building is remodeled so everything is up to date. Several restaurants within walking distance. Enjoyed our stay of 2 nights.
