The stay was nice. Room is great for a long stay. My window leaked when it rained and when I checked it out it wasn't even locked. Kind of strange, guess I should have checked it sooner. Very clean, very comfortable. Breakfast was always good, basic hotel style. Not many guests when I was there so it was quiet!

Nice, clean hotel, very friendly & welcoming staff. Beds weren't overly comfortable. Would've been nice to know that it was under construction, I believe that should be disclosed when booking. I think it was a high demand weekend & prices were high.

We stopped on our way heading south. It was a nice room. Had plenty of space to spread after a long day in the car. Did not use any of the facilities, but they were available. My only suggestion would be to have a better coffee selection for you. Their coffee kinda sucks. I like cleanliness and this place passes my test. I would stay here again.

We enjoyed staying here which was conveniently located near the highway (but far enough so you don't hear the noise), restaurants, and the town. The rooms were nice and clean which included a full fridge, microwave, small stove, dishwasher, coffee pot and kitchen supplies. The bed was firm, and pillows were great (at least to us). There was plenty of room to spread out to put your clothes / things in closet. Only thing that they didn't have is a room safe which would've been nice to have. Breakfast was wonderful with the selection of different items from eggs / omelets / hard boiled eggs, sausage / bacon, pancakes / French toast or make it yourself waffles. Every day had different options. They also had the usual like oatmeal, cereal, assorted yogurts / breads / pastries / muffins, fresh fruits, juices / milk, coffee / tea. It was nice to have the microwave and toaster in the room so that I could reheat or toast my bread. We enjoyed using the indoor jacuzzi and the fitness center. Overall, this hotel is nice, and we wouldn't mind staying here again in the near future.

Hotel was in very good condition. We were in town for the Boone Supernationals, which run late into the night, and we would not normally leave for the day until 1pm. Only complaint was that we did not get houskeeping services for the entire 6 days we were there. The one day I asked if we could get clean sheets and towels, housekeeping was gone, so I said to make sure they came the next day, and they did not. That's my only complaint. Otherwisse, good overall experience.

Breakfast was not as good as what we get in other hotels. The hockey puck eggs were not good and we saw something that might have been sausage, but didn’t try it. Could have just been a bad day for someone. The elevator didn’t work (and had a sign), but it would travel to the floor, preventing the working elevator from coming up. That was frustrating. The place wasn’t full, but they put us next to an occupied room. So instead of a really quiet night, we got to enjoy someone else coming and going all the time. Loved the fact that there was a tub. Not a bad experience, but it could have been better.
