The location is nice. A very good walking trail is just outside. I stayed the first week of May so maybe they hadn't got to cleaning up the outside of the building.

Coffee is important for guests which is demonstrated by having a good coffee maker which was not present here. The pillows were lumpy and squished to three quarters of their length and needed alot of punching to be usable. Everything else was lovely and comfortable.

-Rooms are quite dated (not an issue) but I would say that they do need some sprucing up- re-caulking of the bathroom and ceilings in the room. Whirlpool/hottub area is quite small but perfect for a few people. Staff are very friendly and conveniently located!!

Great stay, the location and property are in a great placed. Well maintained, great views from the room. Staff was rude - showed up a bit early and was told room wasn’t ready - not a big deal, they explained I would be called when it’s was ready. 2 hours goes by and no call. Finally just gave up and showed up, staff was rude about the situation stating that it was busy and didn’t have time to call me. It would have taken 30 seconds - not a valid excuse.
