07-Feb-2025 Verified Review, stayed from Thu Feb 06 to Fri Feb 07 2025 at a $126.99 average nightly rate. 
"Clean, Convenient Hotel and Friendly Staff"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
I don't need a fancy place to stay … just clean, accessible, friendly, with loads of hot water and good water pressure! Check, check, check! Plus this place had hot coffee 24/7 and the sweetest Grama working the breakfast area—which was HUGE so we didn't have to sit on top of strangers! We had our two yr old toddler grandchild with us and every staff member he encountered interacted with him … he is cute so it is easy, but still, some people don't make the effort. Highly recommend! A great stay! Also, walking distance to Big Grove Brewery and Village Inn! Bonus points!
