There's something for everyone to do. I enjoyed the pool the hot tub the complimentary breakfast. the room is nice and clean and cozy not far from the little town I truly recommend this place for anybody and I would definitely be returning.
Realy a great stay - while the building itself is not new, it is in great shape, very clean and retains some of the "older" hotel features like a spacious room. Great location for easy walk to downtown. Staff were clearly invested in the quality of our stay. Appreciated the offer to stay an additional nite for half price (although probably something offered only during low season.
Front desk clerk was SO super friendly and hospitable. (She’s a keeper.) Room was tidy. Breakfast was sufficient. Only downside, was the parking at night.
The atmosphere was amazing! We had a balcony with the creek view and it was so relaxing! The pool was great for the kiddos and we loved the fire pits outside! They had popcorn, board games, DVDs, and such cute touches on everything.’
