One of the best beds we have ever slept in at a hotel! Breakfast was very good and lots of options. Our room was clean and a lot of space. The small bar/restaurant was nice for times you dont want to go out.

The staff is awesome but the hotel itself could use some updating. It’s in an older part of town with a closed theater and other run down buildings around it. We’ll stay closer to Jordan Creek next time.

Needs updating
We found candy and toys under the beds. The room doesnt get very dark. Only wood slated blinds. The beds were well worn out. We sunk into it.

The hotel is clean but old, carpeting and dark paint colors.
The beds are very comfortable and really good linens. A little pricey for what you get.
The breakfast not so good
