This Was a Family trip. The beds were comfy but the roof was very loud at Night like this sound of rats Running over the roof. But it wasn’t rats, it Was the snowstorm. Dropping big amounts of Snow on the roof. So we weren't able to sleep pretty well in the middle of the night. The staff was really Nice From the Desk Man to the housekeepers. I will stay here again, but not when it’s raining or Snowing

Staff was super kind and location is nice. Walls are thin and we could hear everything next door, when the heater runs it’s loud and woke us up during the night.

Cody and the crew are rockstars. Everyone on staff was more than happy to help with any questions or needs that came up for my wife and I. The grounds are very nice as well. The room itself was just fine for us. We found it plenty clean and comfortable. We’re pretty low maintenance so if you’d need more than a warm room, a bed, a tv, and a hot shower, this might not be the place for you. There’s some good eats in walking distance (we went to Margaritas and the Burger Lounge) along with a 7/11 and a cool thrift store about a block away. Oh and this place is pet friendly too! This was the second time we’ve stayed here and we’re sold. Thanks!

The hot water in the bathroom sink was anything but hot. Luke warm at best. Hot water in kitchen sink and bathroom had to be turned on for a good 7-10 minutes before getting hot. Also the Wifi was very "spotty".

Good, potentially great!

The room was clean, and the mana was amazing! The only complaint we have was that the shower knob came off, and the water pressure and temperature was dependent on the other rooms! Good stay, with the potential to be amazing!!!
