"1st Time stay"

Even though it's an older hotel and you can definitely tell it the rooms were clean and quiet. The bed was great and the shower was fantastic. The staff was excellent and the breakfast was good so overall, it was definitely a five out of five state would definitely recommend the blue door.

We recycle and offer a recycling center for our guests.

FREE Our simple breakfast is a lot better than the usual "continental breakfast". First we serve Starbucks coffee (all day long) and then we make our own fresh home baked bread which is very popular. We cut fresh fruit every morning, usually banana's and oranges. (nothing prepackaged). We boil hard boiled eggs every day so that you can have some protein and of course we offer pastries or muffins along with a selection of 4 cold cereals, oatmeal (in packets), yogurt, teas and orange juice. Eat in our lobby with 10 foot glass panels all around or enjoy seating out in our park area, or take a tray and head back to your room.

We are a two story property with parking directly in front of the buildings. We do not have an elevator! Parking is right outside of lower floor rooms, on a first come first served basis.

We have invested a great deal in our Wi-Fi. Rather than share bandwidth with everyone else in town we have our own dedicated link and burst technology that allows us extra bandwidth when we need it. We have 10 repeaters on property ensuring that you'll have a good signal wherever you are.
