This is a very nice renovation of an old motel property...a blueprint for all those aging vestiges of days before the Interstate. The amenities and snacks in the room were of top quality, the beds and linens fantastic and the restaurant was excellent. Very well done

Great place to stay. Super clean and comfortable. We truly appreciated how much thought went into the room— especially the granola from their restaurant and the bag of ice in the freezer, even the glassware options were great to have. They seem to have thought of everything. We loved enjoying the fire pit before bed. We would definitely stay at the Alander again!
