The room was clean. Large roomy room. The bed was comfortable , although updated it is starting to look not kept up. The bathroom had a horrible mildew smell. We were so tired from long drive, It was a sleep and leave situation. We paid $150 for the night. Only convenience was the diner located on the property, Food was terrible.

Our room was large, clean, and comfortable. Loved having coffee machine, but wished they offered tea or hot chocolate instead of just coffee. Handy to have frig with freezer and microwave in room. We were "skipped" on room cleaning until a second request got action on day 6, but didn't refill tissues, cups, or washcloths. Parking was difficult with the parties on the weekends at the restaurant. Loud music stopped around 10:30, but we rather enjoyed it! Overall a nice stay - the room was the nicest!
