The character of this hotel made it a special find for a quick trip to see the sandhill cranes... the old-time elevator was a treasure!! The room was not just "rather clean", but really clean, and I appreciated that! My only small beef was that the shower dripped through the night until I wrapped a towel around it, and the sink in the room was so tiny that it was hard to even brush teeth. Convenience to shops and restaurants was ideal. As luck would have it, the entire town lost power through the night, so waking in the dark with not even any water was a bit of a surprise, but completely no fault of the staff at the hotel-- they were very apologetic concerning even a situation beyond their control. I would definitely stay here again!!
