Canfield Hotel
"I have stayed here many times. This was the absolute worst stay ever. The hotel was taken over by new owners and they appear to have no interest in running a hotel. We had to pry the elevator open to get out and that was the best part."

Irish Cottage Inn & Suites
"The grounds and setting are beautiful. The room was clean however the air conditioning was loud. Other than that, all good things to say. I would stay there again because of the great value for such a wonderful setting so close to town."
