Excellent staff! Very friendly. The views were wonderful. There is no elevator. I missed that when reserving my room. Lots to do on property. The hotel is showing age and could use an update.

Weekend Trip For 2

The place was a bit dated, carpets were a bit rough, but if you’re not super picky and just looking for a great place to take your family or significant other to spend quality time this is a great spot. Pool is deep and indoors which is great. The outdoor slide 100% is as fun as it looks. Gf and I enjoyed the Eagle ride too. Our upgraded room was spacious. I wish I knew about the $150 or so hold that the hotel puts on your card at check in, but I do like that they let you credit it toward their restaurants and other services they offer. The dinner restaurant on premise is overpriced in my opinion, breakfast and lunch are priced well through. Keep in mind for all of this that we went during the summer and the resort is aimed for winter guests I’m assuming.

It was a relaxing and charming place for the entire family. They are operational all year round.Their restaurant offered delicious foods and overlooking an awesome view of the Mississippi River. Their staffs are friendly and accommodating. Though they don’t have elevators, it’s not too bad coz their stairs are short and easy to climb. They have a decent-sized pool with dry sauna and hot tub. A great relaxation spot indeed! Outside they have a great scenery for walking, mini Golf course. And for adventure seekers,Skiing (winter Season), the Ski Lift, Alpine Slide and the Soaring Eagle zipline.
