Bass Pro Shops Angler's Lodge
First room was small and unfortunately by the outside door. We heard it open and close through the night. We changed rooms the remaining nights to a double queen, which was a larger room.

Hotel Vandivort
Great stay at Hotel Vandivort. The beds were very comfortable and the location made it easy to walk to everything downtown. We loved the rooftop bar, and having a restaurant right on property was super convenient. Would definitely stay here again.
