Overall this is a nice place to stay. Only complaint would be the pool and hottub weren't very clean, and the tub/shower in our rooms were dirty. Everything else was great.

Great stay for a family of 6 traveling. The lady that checked us in was nice and let us know they had housekeeping shortages so we would have to go down there if we needed anything. Hot breakfast options were offered the next morning.

Very safe area. We came in April and the pool was not heated at all which didn't stop the kids and dad had no choice, but I certainly wasn't getting in. If you get a chance, go check out the waterfalls around Valentine. We got the presidential suite and it was fun. Overall it was clean and a good place to rest after a day of exploring!

Worked great for what we needed. Quiet, safe, and staff was very helpful when we needed something. Definitely a local hotel where they may not have all the bells and whistles that a chain hotel would, but it's clean and welcoming. Would gladly stay here again!
