This is an Oasis for Bikers passing through or a few days stay to venture out and explore the awesome surrounding terrain and many known biker hangouts such as Poopy's, Iron Horse Social, and Psycho Silo to name a few. With an onsite bar and kitchen there's no better accomodations to end a great day of riding. Will definitely be back to ride this area again and definitely be staying here.

The staff was absolutely incredible, including the bar next-door. The room was decently clean, but the breakfast area was pretty pathetic. All they had was coffee and pop tarts. I wasn’t there for the breakfast so it was a very nice day. Again the staff was top-notch.

This was our second time staying here...a year ago and this time. The hotel bar was fun with our group of friends we stayed with! The staff was friendly and accommodating! The drinks were good! The breakfast was VERY limited, so our group of 10 went to a restaurant for breakfast!

We had a late night, so slept in or tried to sleep in. Someone decided to rev up his motorcycle at the Crack of dawn...and then keep revving it. Walls and floors are somewhat thin, as I feel like I could hear someone cleaning the tub right above me. All before check out at 11am.

Things were all older and dated, but everything was clean. Bedsheets were so old they were nubby. Bathroom was fine with very soft water. Included breakfast was marginal, with pop tarts and weak coffee. It was interesting having a busy bar in the midst of the building, adding character. It is also a gathering place for both Harley bikers and golfers for the adjacent course; quite a contrast. It's the only place around, so if we go to another concert in Mt.Carroll, we'll probably stay again.
