Bass Pro Shops Angler's Lodge
Breakfast was really good and wasn’t over until 11, which was very nice! We didn’t have to get up early and rush as some hotels put away breakfast early! Staff was very friendly and helpful. I had asked for a late check out as we were attending a wedding at 3, and it was granted, i was super excited ...

Best Western Coach House
This is an old hotel that needs a significant update. The shower leaked, some of the lights didn’t work, the bathroom door is broken at the bottom and insulation is falling out, there were stains on the comforter, and ants in the shower.
