We stayed one night at this hotel, the hotel is family run & is staffed. They have a hot tub & sauna available as well. The rooms are quiet, clean & cozy. Nothing super amazing about this hotel but decent. The views are pretty good from here as a river runs beside & they have a nice fountain out front. They didn't shovel the snow until much later in the day. Ample parking here for free.

We received a free breakfast but not a room upgrade (at least to knowledge). We love supporting family owned businesses and it’s obvious the family cares very much about their hotel, dining options and other amenities.
