Was an ok place for a couple days for what we needed. A little disappointed and felt like we got punked on the “continental” breakfast and you could tell the disappointment on the other guests face as well. It was quiet and comfortable and warm and that’s what we needed.

We only spent the night and did not explore the property. We were in town for a gravel cycling event at Snow Fork event center. We really liked the hotel though and commented that we need to go back to spend an entire weekend exploring. We will stay here again.
