I must have overlooked the fact that there was no TV in the room not that it's a big deal but I enjoy the chatter in the background. However I did receive an email letting me know there was no TV the day after I could have canceled of which I would have done Had I known I'm sure somewhere in the very fine print they told you that there was no TV. Also the heat was very inconsistent every time I tried to turn up the heat It didn't seem to work I went to the front desk they did something and it worked for a while but when I wanted to turn down the heat it wouldn't go back up Something I don't understand. Also the floors were very dirty You had to have shoes on all the time all the way The day we arrived we were told also that dinner would not be served because there was not enough people Of which we had no idea about I really didn't want to Drive after dark on those mountain roads. You managed okay But as I said we probably would have canceled had I known about some of the amenities. Make sure you read all the very very fine fine print About anything you book another thing with expedia is the fact that they put you in the back furthest room every time

This hotel offers so much! Breakfast was included in the price and they offered lunch and dinner at a fee as well. The things to do on site were in abundance- swimming, kayaking, canoeing, etc. Being as though we came in November, we couldn't experience any of that, so we will definitely be back to try those things. An all around peaceful hotel.
