Very nice place to stay. Really there was nothing wrong, I just save 5 star reviews for exceptional places. We were tired after a hot day at the fair and decided to stay in town. Hotel was clean, staff was pleasant. Overall it was exactly what we were looking for.

We had a great one-night stay, the staff was very friendly and welcoming and the room was spacious with a decent kitchen setup. The only issue we had was that there was some hair underneath the extra blanket on the bed which was gross, but overall it was a good stay!
