Stay away.
We called on our way to the hotel. Was informed we needed to be there before 7pm or we wouldn’t be able to check in instead of the 1030 check in on the booking info. We barely made it. The room looked stayed in and no toilet paper or toiletries. We had to go back out and find the usual hotel provided items in an small town that shuts down early. Just an awful experience. Tried taking it up with the clerk or manager the next morning. A service lady said no one was around to talk to and have an excuse for the owner / manager. Stay away. Go to the cabins or another establishment.

This place was great, if you ever need to stay in this little town, this is the only place I would stay. I've been at every hotel in this town and this one is the only one worth staying at. The staff are so kind!
