Great place to visit

Everyone was super friendly and nice. The tv set up left something to be desired, and the internet and cell service in the area was a struggle but I was able to make it through.

We have stayed here many times and have always a good experience. Staff are always nice and helpful. After a day out in the woods, we come back to our room, everything is replenished and clean and it’s great to go for a swim. Wish the hot tub worked and there was more selection for their breakfast

The room was expensive for what it was. Pubic hairs on the shower faucet was an instant put off. The facility is the only one in town, that why they can ask for high rates. Pool are was very dated, hot tub has been out of order since covid.

The staff tried to change my credit card ( one I no longer use) it didn’t go through, so my reservation for 2 rooms was cancelled without any notice. They were then unwilling to help in any way. As we were travelling on motorcycles 6 hours from home with no accommodation, I was less than impressed. One of the people in our group is a travel agent, so this will not go unnoticed. I expect some feedback on this ridiculous situation.

It’s great I stay there every Monday for work. The staff are great the location is convenient. There is two small things they can upgrade one the pillows are half pillows and two the blankets could be replaced they are these old weird itchy blankets kind of like the fireproof material. Just the pillows and blankets need upgrading besides that I have no complaints and will be a weekly costumer.
