Amazing hotel and better than any chain hotels. Close to all the biking trails and downtown! They had bikes on site so we were able to ride 20 miles when we were there. Lakely restaurant was also amazing - great food, drinks, and live music!

I read a lot of reviews about this property prior to booking so I was excited, thinking it was going to be a nicer room. It is a motel, which I understood, but the rooms were not what I was expecting for the money. I have stayed at the Lismore for less money and a much nicer room. The bed was not very comfortable, we only had about 1/4 of a roll of toilet paper so we had to go ask for more. The shower did not have anything in there to put my personal items on - not a huge deal, but just not as nice as I was expecting. I will say that the staff are all amazing and helpful and the grounds/dining and outdoor area are all very beautiful. We enjoyed being able to walk everywhere downtown. I would definitely go back to hang on the patio but would not spend the money to stay again.
