Shower is a little small you can turn around in it, but you couldn’t raise your arms to wash yourself . but they’re very very firm. no counter desk just two nightstands two beds also no shelving or counter space and bathroom. We’ve stayed here many of times and had a great experience. This was the worst.

Meets Expectations

Place met expectations for a 2-star. Was clean (caulk in tub looked new), with worn furniture. Sheets were slightly scratchy but bed was perfect firmness. AC kept us cool and provided consistent white noise at a moderate level. Water pressure good, to the point of almost being aggressive. Not a lot of surfaces to place items on. For those with mobility issues, a couple steps and gravel in lot we used. Garden tub is deep and wide, but has grab bar to get in. The "resort" is spread out and close to other properties without consistent style/color or much signage, so it can be a bit confusing to navigate. Went to peek at hot pool on property after returning from public pools, but it was too dark for us to be sure we were going to the correct area or not. Overall served its purpose and checked the boxes most critical for us for a one night stay (clean, safe, quiet).

I've stayed here a few times and they have the absolute friendliest people working the front desk, the rooms have always been very clean and for an older facility it is very well maintained. The small park behind it along the river is a great place to relax, as is the pool. The pool is closer to the river than the motel, but I absolutely LOVE where it is. It also boarders the park, is shaded by some nice trees and makes for a lovely evening soak!

The person who contacted me regarding my reservation was great. She had keys ready for me for a late check in. It was a great price and it worked. In my opinion, it could be improved by ensuring that the Internet is set up to the television as I was not allowed to even watch basic television because there was no Internet. Internet was advertised. The blankets were incredibly thin and they weren’t on the bed. There were spiders we had to kill three. The floors are very soft and water leaked out of the standing shower badly. The bunkbed squeaked so badly every time you move that it woke everybody up. And the only chair to sit on was the two dining room chairs there was no chair or couch.

This hotel has a motel feel with big rooms and a fabulous hot spring fed pool. Our family of 5 loved it. We wish we could have stayed a second night. The town is small and touristy with great food and coffee options. Be aware if you go during the week some quick food options are closed earlier. If you come through the area, this hotel is a great place to stay.
