The property is old and dated, but was nice. They have an indoor swimming pool and hot tub, with a great view of the mountain. The lobby is nice, and the grills outside were nice because of the garden area.

No pets, stove, fridge, microwave, fully furnished kitchen. Rec room, indoor pool, hot tub, sauna. Laundry and easy check in. We would stay here again if we go to this area again!

We will definitely be staying here again in the future! The rooms were great for our little family of 4 (the bed comfort isn't what I'd rave about, but the size of the rooms, and the kitchenettes were really nice). The pool area was really nice. Parking was easy. Driving distance to so many amazing places! The saunas didn't turn on, but that was the only bummer during our short stay. Definitely recommend for a trip to the area!

The location is great and the room was clean. The cobwebs and bugs around the secondary entrances are a little bothersome. Some updates to linens and room decor would go a long way.

Ashley

Liked: Cleanliness, communication
The property was quiet peaceful, parking and check in and out was easy. We stayed here on our Honeymoon 28 years ago and have been back several times since. However, it could use some updates especially the bed and pillows. Our room AC was not on when we got there so we had to turn it on and cool the room down which took a while since it was July. The floors seemed to be uneven and carpet was dated.

Raymond

Liked: Cleanliness, communication
Disliked: Amenities
As a rule I hate full wall mirrors. No bath soaps, hand soaps nor shampoos. No coffee or tea, though there is a coffee maker. Mattress couild have been replaced, oh, several years ago. Insubstantial pillows didn't help. Must clean dirty dishes (that's okay) and leave in drainer, though it wasn't provided. Don't forget to take out the trash or it will be an extra cost. No mention in property description that in effect this is not a place for a one or two night stay unless guests travel with the above. In sum, it is not a hotel. Or a BnB since there isn't a second B. Maybe a short term budget rental.
