My friends and I stayed for a couple days for my birthday and it was a great stay, food was good but had limited options, wish the hot tub worked but it’s ok. Everything in the room was nice only thing I would say negatively is I wish the floors were a little cleaner, we took our shoes off and walked around for maybe 5-10 min and our feet were black. Overall great stay though thank you!

don’t bother. save your money.

dirty. hot tub disgusting and non functional. no key card for the pool area so it was obvious people who were not staying at the hotel were using it for recreation due to the amount of people in the pool.

The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful, but they forgot to call us when our room was ready which would have really sucked if we were in a hury. The inn was easy to find and cheaper than other options. I liked the bathroom.
