We are not your average hotel- we are family run- which is cool except my kiddos are busy!! We 100% know we are not good at answering the phone- you are better off sending a message.
This being said we will bend over backwards to make something work for you but you have to communicate and be understanding. You want the Hometown feel - come on in- want the hotel chain admentienties- stay elsewhere ;-)

We are so thankful to our amazing local volunteer fire departments. We had a fire that they quickly contained to one room. We are so lucky to have men and women who will drop everything and come when we need them. Please do what you can to help support them so that they may continue this much needed service to our community. Thank you Barry, Hull and New Canton you are so very much appreciated.

Just to share some info- we sold 93 tags for a total of $9,420.50.....
Our cut was $84.00
This is why I have to charge extra for CC.. the state does NOT come even close to covering those fees.
We do this because we want to.. well and because Megan can't remember to do hers online... so we thank you for your understanding and patience today
