This hotel we have been coming to since 2022. Each July we drive up to Pa for family reunions. The people who work here are the best and always have been fortunate to get a room that is quite and clean. The people at check in always make you feel at ease and treat you as family. The breakfast is outstanding and area is kept clean.

Great for traveling with youngish kids. Beds were comfortable, room was clean. The included breakfast was excellent too . The only downside was it was a little loud at night. It quieted down pretty quickly though. Would definitely stay again.

The breakfast was fresh each morning although, the oatmeal could have been cooked more. The pancake station was great and the orange juice was delicious. The indoor pool was open until 11PM which was good. The rooms were clean and very comfortable and low noise volume.
