The room was clean and convenient. Breakfast was good, but did not remain in the dining area as there is not enough seating; very small area.
Parking was good; no issues.
Enjoyable stay overall.
We will stay here again.

Great stay.
This hotel was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. For a no frills hotel this one hits the mark.
I enjoyed my stay. It was a very quaint hotel and comfortable.
Nice hot breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage, waffles, juice, cereal.
It is located near large Amish restaurants with excellent food and also several large attractions, antique and craft shops and bakeries.
Super nice little spot. We stayed overnight after a concert. Simple, inexpensive, comfortable beds, very clean. The decor is a bit outdated but we don’t care as long as it’s comfy and clean. Staff was nice and breakfast was good. We would definitely stay again when in the area.
