A charming little place, though right off the interstate, it is quiet, clean, and safe. It has a cute little bar that serves food. A big plus, so you don't have to go out after checking in. I plan to stay there again when I am passing through.

The room was a bit dated but clean and the bed was comfortable. The pillows can use an upgrade and I would recommend having an extra blanket in the closet to not have to call down and request one late at night. Love the toiletry products in the bathroom, will have to do a search to place a personal order. The breakfast was great and the staff from check in to the breakfast server were all amazing. We enjoyed our one night stay as we were passing through.

Hotel was clean and comfortable. Had to join the Best Western loyalty program to get the free breakfast. Breakfast at the on-site restaurant was tasty and a good option if you have the time. Older building, well maintained, but suggest check ahead if you have mobility concerns.

1 staff member was not great but the second was very helpful and understanding. We did not know you checked in 1 place and had to park else where. The first employee just told us to park in the back and come register. The second person helped us check in ( we had all our luggage with us) and let us take our luggage to the room and then we could move our vehicle. We still would recommend a stay here.
