The rooms aren’t top notch but the view from them are definitely worth it! There’s so much to do you won’t want to be in your room all day! Got to see a lot of wildlife

The bed was clean and comfortable which is the most important thing, but the bathroom was super small and some walls throughout the room were dirty. I reserved a creekside room because they showed a cute balcony with rocking chairs... well they only have 2 of those. All the rest have a small balcony that is not big enough for a chair. We did see a bear the first night though so that was cool. Grandkids LOVED the pools, we spent a lot of time there. The cafe has good food but pricey! Walked downtown the first night, almost died walking back up. I suggest you don't do that if you're not in tip top shape. Overall, it was ok for the price.

Our room was across the street from the main part of the motel, maybe because we had a dog with us. I don't think the rooms have been updated in years. Carpet looked bad, and the paint was gone in spots on the woodwork. Cheap, thin bedspread. Tiniest bathroom I have ever seen in a motel. Heater/AC unit leaked on the floor inside and outside. Bathroom sink kept backing up. The room seemed basically clean, and it was quiet at our end of the motel. I seriously doubt I would stay there again.

We went to this hotel 5 years ago. Apparently they change the owner. The hotel needs some update. However, the hotel is good, clean, and comfortable. The staff is good.
