the stay here was incredible! my most memorable aspect would’ve been their s’mores service, as that was something i’ve never experienced from a hotel before. my mother and i stayed here for two days, and we had the best experience here. the establishment is stocked with things to do, too! their game room was such a nice touch as well. overall, we really liked the aesthetic of this hotel! next time we’re in town, we’ll most definitely be staying here again!!

The staff are super friendly and helpful. The hotel is very cool and worth staying at. The only things we would have liked to have seen are little stuff like maybe replacing the mirror instead of gluing the crack in it and having AC would have been nice.
