The mattresses were absolutely terrible! Both of the queen beds in our room were awful! Very limited breakfast menu. The chair at the desk was tattered and broken.

Loved staying the cave room so much. What a cool experience! We stayed for one night, and enjoyed the hottub with tv. Didn't realize there was a sauna when booking! Didn't have a chance to use it though. The breakfast was not great – just cereal and make your own waffles, and not great eggs/sausage. No fruit or anything else healthy. Also there were no forks so had to scavenge for them in the drawers.

Wonderful time

This hotel is very cozy and comforting. The hotel staff during the weekdays was amazing and so friendly. I really enjoyed talking with them. The location of the hotel is awesome as it is next to a pizza place with an arcade and a gas station. Super convenient.

Perfect for fun couples!

Clean and tidy. Very cozy and romantic. Just a bit stuffy with a strong moldy smell at the beginning from lack of airing it out hours prior but eventually your nostrils get used to it or the fan finally circulates the air around. Besides that minor detail, I LOVED IT!!

Room was very roomy and clean, but we ordered a king bed with fireplace, looking forward to the fireplace on a cold night. It only worked for a small time, then stopped. When i told staff they said they had someone in last week to fix it. Nothing was offered in the way of a discount on the room. This was dissapointing.😒
