-Rooms are quite dated (not an issue) but I would say that they do need some sprucing up- re-caulking of the bathroom and ceilings in the room. Whirlpool/hottub area is quite small but perfect for a few people. Staff are very friendly and conveniently located!!

Beautiful location, lots of nice walking paths. Outside of the building needed some attention lots of cigarette butts outside the front door. We had a very nice trip overall. Inside was clean and well kept. Friendly staff. The food at the restaurant inside was very good as well.
