    I was taking a picnic lunch on a Great Taste Trail and the restaurant lent me plastic containers and flatware that I returned them before I left. I was super impressed with how helpful the staff were. Loved the outdoor patio and the beer selection.

    Found this hotel last minute as our plans changed so we only used it for sleeping, but the check-in/check-out process was easy, the staff was helpful, the room was clean and the beds comfy. That was all we needed at that time.
