Nice stay.

Rooms were nice and clean. Office clerks were nice and friendly. They let us check in early. Breakfast left a little to be desired. Bananas would’ve been nice. Overall it was a great stay. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area!

Cardinal and stay

We were just passing through on our way home and we spent one night. We got in late and left a mid morning so there isn’t much to report although the place seemed clean and comfortable as well as our room was very nice. I picked Albion as a stop over due to its location on our route home, so I don’t know much about the town or what it has to offer. But the Cardinal Inn is a very nice facility and I would stay again if I were ever in the area.
