The staff here are what really make this a 5-star experience. They're just nice, helpful people, and that comes through in their service.
The property is a little dated, but the rooms were clean, and we had everything we needed. The continental breakfast was good. They have waffles, which my kids always love. It isn't a massive spread, but everyone in my party found something we liked. With 3 kids and an adult with some serious food allergies*, I'd say that's pretty good.
It's a great location right off the highway, with gas stations, grocery stores, and quick places to eat all within a mile or so.
We didn't venture out for more local dining, so I can't speak to that.
But for a nice spot to spend a night or 3 in this area, I'd recommend staying here.
