Cherry Tree Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here the end of February and had the most relaxing time. The room was very clean and the bed was so comfortable. The breakfast was phenomenal, it had fresh fruit along with a full breakfast of anything you can imagine. Will definitely be staying here again."
