The front door had an inch gap underneath it. The back door knob was loose. I didn’t stay because it wasn’t safe. Looks NOTHING like the pictures. I went inside the room, looked at it, and left.

2nd time staying here and I would only recommend that you stay in the main tower 4 floor building which are deluxe rooms. The non deluxe looks shabby and very outdated.

The hotel itself was very cute with the lodge theme, however the beds there were terrible!!! In this day and age, the beds should have been extra comfy. They sunk in so bad in the middle, we all woke up feeling like our backs were broken, even my kids complained!! Overall, it was ok, not the best. Staff was nice though

The front desk was super nice, the pool was really nice, it had a waterfall slide, hot tub, red slide, and a little 1ft pool. Definitely recommend if you have children. The room had a balcony (creek side), bear sighting in the parking lot. Also free parking, and trolley stops in front of lobby.

We loved our stay here. We had no issues and the office staff was always helpful and kind. The only thing I didn’t like was while getting breakfast, the man sitting at the round table just watching people get their food. It was strange.
