big room for the price, every room is on the creek which is important. recently remodeled it still has flaws in sheetrock but is ausome for the price. stayed 3 times and it's been great everytime. The suite rooms are the best though they are pretty high above the creek. well worth it.

Front desk staff at night shift is very unfriendly. She was on a phone when we checked in at night. She never even said hello, kept talking on the phone while we waited after a very tiring day. Breakfast was there but was mostly catered to young people. No options for skim or reduced fat milk. No fruits except banana and that too was not available everyday. Boiled egg was only available on weekend. They need to be more considerate about customer for all age group.
