6/10 Good

$91 you get what you pay for.
The rooms are very bare bones, which is fine at this price point. The office was very good about sending login information and the check Inwas easy. The room was really hot and turning down the heat didn’t matter. We ended up leaving the windows open in Mid March. The hotel is on the main road and the traffic was really loud. I didn’t think there would be so much traffic but there was was. Finally, when one of the other room flushed their toilet, ours would gurgle really loudly.

We enjoyed the cozy little room and the creamery on site! Would recommend Nickel’s BBQ in town as well as the Blackberry Inn Cafe for breakfast. The hotel is close to the state park and they let us keep our car there even after we checked out. Would highly recommend!
