Pros:

The restaurant supplied a typical eggs, meat, potato & toast complimentary breakfast included with the room rate. Very good food and great staff. Room was comfortable, clean, quiet and hotel was conveniently located just off the highway and beside 2 cardlocks. Restaurant on site was a great benefit. Was a bit difficult to figure out room location as there are 2 separate buildings to the hotel but not too bad.

Pros:

If the owners would put new flooring in the rooms my rating would have been much higher.
The carpet in the room was nasty and needed to be replaced 20 years ago

Not perfect yet charming with good value and fantastic staff.
Pros:

What makes this place shine is the staff, and their restaurant. Complimentary breakfast was fantastic, so good that we ended up opting to have supper there too (at our own expense), and it was delicious.

The beds were extremely comfortable, as were the pillows.

Complimentary Wi-Fi worked flawlessly.

Shout out to the restaurant staff who were very entertaining and attentive without being "too attentive."

Cons:

The room we were in could use a detail cleaning, as there were dust bunnies in areas that most people wouldn't notice. It is very obviously a very 70s/80s building.

Our room had two dining chairs, but no dining table (a little odd).
