The hotel has added a parking charge. When we returned back after dinner, the entire parking lot is full and this is not a part of the town where there is any street parking within about a mile when we try to speak to someone at the hotel, there is no staff on site only a virtual assistant, and they had absolutely no solution

Hotel was clean and maintained. Be prepared, however, to go through a complicated check-in process. The hotel may be trying to make it easier with a kiosk when no one is at the desk, but have not got it worked out yet.

Checkin is at a kiosk, virtually meeting with someone in a different country. Walls and floors in room must have zero insulation as we coukd hear every conversation of the people in rooms next door and below. Mattress was extremely uncomfortable. There are no blackout curtains and very bright lights all down the hallways, illuminating the room all night long. It was like daylight throughout the night.

Very clean room. Bed was very comfortable and pillows even better. Rates were well below the norm and appreciated the bargain. Staff friendly, pool nice though colder than expected. . Location a little hard to find coming coming in from Hwy 68 and recommend people get detailed map before arrival.
