“For a comfortable overnight stay while traveling, this spot hits the mark, especially with the attached Governor's restaurant; dinner there is a welcome treat after a long drive. The rooms are clean and the beds comfy, plus I appreciate the hotel's support for cancer research through their plush moose and bear sales. It's a great value and an easy recommendation.”
