Family trip for 2 nights. Great customer service from staff. Property was inviting with family friendly things to do like fire pits and s’mores. The Shower head was positioned way too high and not moveable. Made showering very unpleasant. The towels need to be upgraded or washed better. When drying off fuzz was all over body. Would return for another stay with family.

The front desk person got mad that I was in a 2nd floor room with my dog, but I discolsed we had a dog when we checked in. Not our fault! They could have been nicer in their approach.

It was a pleasant stay. Affordable and way better choice than staying at a noisy hotel with a casino. Coffee shop was good and their lounge areas perfect.

The room is very old, the stairwells that took 3 flights of stairs to get to the room smelled of urine, people were smoking weed, the receptionist told us the wrong room, and there were no towels in the room due to a shortage in staff. Trash everywhere, and ceilings had water damage.

What we love about this is the convenience of a restaurant, coffee shop and draft beers right at the vicinity. They offer all those aside from lodging plus the place is secluded in a nice area where there is quiet but close enough that you can walk to the main district.
