It’s an older hotel that appears to have been renovated. It seems like other options in the area are also older. A nice feature was a well taken care of pool with slides and a hot tub, also a fire pit to make marshmallows. But maybe the best of all was the service. People running the hotel were very friendly and accommodating. Just a really nice atmosphere.

Overall, great property for the price and location. Our doors manual lock didn’t lock but told the front desk at checkout and they took a note. Front desk was nice. Breakfast was standard carb items. Daughter was excited about the pancake machine. I would stay there again.
