The pool was closed down 2 of the 3 days we were staying there. Breakfast was not served even though the email received for check in states breakfast. The floor of the kitchen in our room was sticky and there was no soap to wash the dishes. The cable box wasn't working and needed to be reset twice during our short stay. Asked for a final receipt to be emailed and still have not received.

The place is quite dated. No lobby with coffee. Not a good value for just a room to stay in. It’s great if you’re attending an event there and you’re drinking and shouldn’t drive. It is quiet, safe, and secluded.

Rustic accommodations

The pictures portrayed the property to be a resort. The room was very minimal. After hours the front desk is closed and a security officer is the one who checks you in and provides any services. I checked in around 10:30 PM. The television in my room was not getting the cable, the security officer came to my room to get it going. He did a great job and was very pleasant. The restaurant is a bar, serving bar food. I waited about 10 minutes for the bar tender/server to come in the bar from doing some task outside the bar. Some days of the week the front desk is not open until 11:00 AM or 11:30 AM. It’s a rustic lodge. Not at all a resort.

The front desk employee made check-in easy. On entering the property there are no clear signs directing you where to check in. The room was clean and comfortable.
