Best Western Plus Abbey Inn

The Best Western Plus Abbey Inn has pretty grounds that include a stream and a quaint footbridge, and there's a plush feel to the common spaces. Although there is no bar or restaurant for socializing or winding down, the handsome lobby is furnished with comfy couches and armchairs in rich, warm colors, clustered around a cozy fireplace. Free coffee and tea are available in the lobby at all times. The breakfast room is similarly welcoming, with a stone fireplace, red leather chairs, and an adjacent outdoor terrace furnished with heavy wrought-iron furniture. With a year-round pool, hot tub, and well-equipped fitness center, The Abbey Inn is much more than a way station on the highway.
