This property is the perfect place to stay in Nederland! It is walking proximity to great restaurants and even a grocery store if you need it! Just to the side of the property you can pick up a nice walking trail that leads you to the reservoir for fishing or just a nice walk. The staff are wonderful and the hotel has a nice area over looking the town where you can play many board games that the hotel has for guests! My children loved their stay here!
Great outdoor space!

Thé room was very clean but quite dark. It was difficult to read a book on one side of the bed. We could never get the tv to work although that could have been an issue with Direct TV. The gentleman at the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful.
