Griffin itself was very clean and comfortable and quiet. Excellent lower price option on property. Checking in at the main inn seemed confusing and staff appeared to be new and in training. Breakfast at the Lodge made us feel unwelcome. hostess never smiled and seemed put out that we were even trying to ask for a table.

I can’t say enough good things about this hotel. Our room was clean, large, beds comfortable, bathroom and two sink areas were convenient. The deck was overlooking a pond and a nice place to relax after walking the restoration area. Being close to the hotel and restaurants was perfect. And, the staff were exceptional.
