The room and staff were great! Best location right in the middle of town. The room did get a little chilly when it was 15* outside - and we wished the waffle shop inside the hotel was open. Other than that, we will definitely be back!

Very courteous staff. Great location. The unit was clean and big enough for the two of us. The heater/AC unit was amazingly loud and came on and off all night (poor insulation). The bed was not great. The spare blanket was dirty but necessary for when the heater was off, but we were hot and cold all night long. So glad it was only one night.
