We offer 24 guest rooms, onsite Conference/Banquet facilities, a gift shop, and Free Wifi.  Guests and locals enjoy our cozy onsite lounge for homemade pizza, appetizers, and drinks.

Rooms are unique and themed to break the monotony one typically expects of franchise hotels.  Our goal is to provide the best amenities of a modern franchise hotel, but with the pride and authenticity of a locally owned and operated business, with intimate knowledge of the local attractions, events and traditions of the area.
