50th anniversary get away

We decided to get away for our 50th anniversary. Easy to make reservations, great check in service. The staff at the front desk answered our questions and were very friendly. The hotel is beautiful, well maintained and clean. The pool was a little cold, but the area was clean. Lots of towels available. We will return.

It is a very nice, clean hotel. Everyone was friendly and it was busy. We went to a concert and I am going back in 2 weeks for another one. It is a great little town, but dead on Sundays. Everything is closed.

Return customers!

Always a great experience, top to bottom! A group of 3 or 4 of us come each summer to visit the flea market and shops downtown. We always look for to our clean comfortable room and pool, hot tub, and fire pit to relax by, after a long day of shopping and walking in the heat. The exceptional breakfast is always a treat to wake up to as well. First class establishment and I highly recommend!!
