Its a great hotel, clean and recently updated. They need to fix the latch on the door on the main level thats supposed to be for guest entry only. It doesn't latch and anyone can enter at any time.

Overall a nice place to stay. Only issue was the shower did not get hot enough two of the three nights I was there. The receptionist said there was too many people showering at once and the water coming into the building was too cold to warm up. If you have a certain amount of rooms, the water system should probably be designed to heat all of the rooms if they all ran water.

I love this hotel. Most of the staff is the absolute friendliest, accommodating and as kind as could be. We stay here 2-3 times a year. We get two rooms. Clean, and great breakfast. 4 adults, 4 kids. This year, the woman checking me in gave me a very hard time about how many adults and kids will be in each room and wanted to charge me $20 a night for not splitting the family up despite having two rooms. I agreed to split everyone to avoid the $20 charge and she said I was just lying to here to avoid the charge. We’ve all stayed here many times without incident. It is the absolute best hotel in the area but beware if you’re coming as a group you may encounter there pushback to pay $20 more per night.
