Would definitely go back!
Pros:

We liked that the outside and inside was nice and clean. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was nice and well equipped. Coffee was better than most places.

Cons:

Turned heat to 60 and still seemed to run some. Not too hot but just not as cold as we like. Could be an operator mistake.

Good location for our interests, nice hot breakfast, ok parking. Would stay again.
Pros:

Hot breakfast really nice. Good breakfast staff. Front desk staff very nice. Good location - but Homer is pretty little, even so, really glad not on the spit.

Cons:

The room was good, but there was an 8 to 10 inch in diameter spot under the rug in front of the bed closest to the door. My socks stuck to it when I walked there and the tile was sticky also. Probably a soda spill. Otherwise very good.
