I like that they restored an old historic motel. The room was nice but I think they may need new carpeting. It had a musty smell. Overall we had an enjoyable stay. The staff is great!
From the moment we walked in to an enthusiastic hello, to walking into our comfortable room, to having breakfast and chatting with the staff, we felt at home. It was probably one of the nicest places we’ve stayed because of the staff like Chloe and Katie. Even the other guest we chatted with made it feel like a home away from home. If you want something different than the typical cold environment of a chain hotel, this is definitely the place to go. It’s even pet friendly. Our breakfast of crapes and coffee were so tasty. They renovated the hotel with a nod to the past and future along with the touches of Finnish or Norwegian heritage that blended seamlessly. You have to check out the Yurt too! Highly highly recommend this place. In our books it gets a 10/5. Will definitely come back here.
