Heartland Inn

Heartland Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Staff was friendly, check-in was easy, the room was nice (and super clean!) and the continental breakfast was a great addition. Wish we knew about the featured meal for supper, but we will be staying again and will definitely check it out the next time. While it's not a Hilton, it's definitely a great hotel for the money. 100% recommend."
