We were at this location to attend the Corn Festival which is closed to the hotel. Great time. Clean and comfortable room. My only complaint is that we were given room 206 facing the rail train which made a lot of noise.

Not much offered for breakfast. Make your own waffles available but not my thing. At night trains went by several times overnight. I am a light sleeper. Dead big bug on bathroom floor. Nice shower with hot water and good pressure. Good lights in room. Safe, handy parking. Staff friendly and efficient.

Very clean rooms. very very comfortable beds and pillows very sweet staff. Their breakfast is decent with a couple hot options however they have a lot of other options like oatmeal, yogurt, bagels, and things like that that will suffice. Housekeeping is outstanding. Highly highly highly recommend especially for the price.

For the price it was ok. Beds were clean. However we checked in with 4 adults 1 child in a suite with 3 beds, 2 had linens, there was only 2 towels. Luckily we had beach towels and extra blankets for the child. Front desk was very friendly and breakfast was on par with other hotels. 1 night we could be ok.
