The staff was incredibly friendly and seemed eager to assist if it was needed. The rooms are nothing fancy but had all we needed since we were there for hiking and not just lounging at the hotel. We loved that the hotel still uses actual room keys inside of swiping a card, it made it feel home-y! We had an excellent stay and would gladly stay here again!

Although not the newest buildings around (there's a little wear and tear), the property is very nice and a little of the beaten track, which we value. They feature live music multiple nights a week, and even had a movie one night, on a very large screen under the stars. Staff are very kind an helpful; something else we value greatly.
