Summary: I’ve been staying at the Cardinal each year these last 5 or 6 years always because it is a small well run Inn with helpful hosts. It is a serene place to be when the need is to relax after a days business or vacation affairs.

Summary: This place is a gem and we will certainly stay there in the future. When we arrived the room was warm and there was a bucket of ice in the mini-fridge. This is not a large chain location. Many small touches from rolled towels to hand soaps, to a small rubber ducky on the bathroom towel set make this a comfortable place. I was able to park my my truck up right in front of the room door. I was unsure of our stay since the price point was excellent. I can see now that this establishment likely makes good money on tips. The only review deficiency I made was in comfort by one star due to the mattresses being softer than I like. That is a minimal thing that some would differ in opinion. The overall stay was excellent and superior to the $400/night resort down the street.

Summary: Friendly staff. Well maintained facilities. A little dated and showing signs of age, but not like we expected a luxury resort. Perfect mix of affordable, clean, quiet and friendly. Will definitely stay again.
