Heartland Inn
This hotel goes well above and beyond. They offer free dinner 4 nights per week. The coffee machines are great…you can make Americano, cappuccino, and mochas. The staff are great. The price was great. They offer a shuttle. It’s just got a lot of great things going on. We highly recommend this hotel ...
