This hotel was very interesting and different. British inspired with old country style decor. The lobby and many areas had hand carved wood furniture and antiques throughout. The breakfast, which was included, was very good.

Amazing atmosphere, fantastic free continental breakfast. It felt like I went to England. I felt safe, the room was clean and the front desk staff was wonderful, both for check in and check out, and handled the check in issues with my payment in a good, professional, friendly way.

I loved the decor, let’s start there! Check in was very fast and friendly. Parking was shockingly easy. Hotel location is perfect - it’s close to the expressway, gas station nearby and food options on site as well as in close proximity. We will definitely be back! The one thing I wanted to do, I didn’t get a chance to during this visit. No worries we will be back and will make time for outdoor chess!!

Always a fun vibe

I’ve stayed here before and enjoyed it. Though on this trip the bathroom lights were hidden behind a rack of towels so I did a lot of in the dark grooming. Lol Love the location. Love the weird vibe. Love the pub. And the Italian restaurant next door was yummy—packed though so make a reservation.
