My review would be lower if it wasn’t for Kyle our front desk when we arrived. We also lost power due to high winds and he kept us updated and communicated with us about what was going on. Other than that the rooms were dirty. It’s like camping in the dirt. Towels didn’t seems like it was washed. Room cleanliness can improve. Location and views are beautiful.

An employee mistakenly entered our room with other guests and a dog while my baby was sleeping. The room was disappointing: stained blankets, dirty floors that left grime on our socks, creaky beds, and red stains on the ceiling and curtains. The staircase felt unstable. We were only given small towels, and the shower’s temperature indicator was faulty. Despite Expedia listing a crib, the hotel said they didn’t have one.

The hot water heater is shared with all the units in the building and since it was winter it ran out of hot water and it was only 9:30 PM. The tub was also not draining so we got stuck with a tub of cold water.

Staff was friendly, it was clean, the bed was like sleeping on a sheet of plywood, nothing romantic about the flame in the fireplace could barely see the flame, there was only 1 wash cloth. Definitely not worth the money I spent.

Overall, it was not clean, the bed was old and uncomfortable, and the kitchen facilities were the worst. I couldn't find the heater, so I couldn't sleep all night because it was cold.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this hotel. Upon checking in, the room was in unacceptable condition. The previous guest’s bedsheets were left strewn about, there was trash in the room, and the bathroom was filthy. We had to immediately call for housekeeping to clean the room and replace the bedsheets and towels. Unfortunately, things only got worse. At night, we encountered roaches—two in the bathroom and one near the microwave. Adding to the discomfort, my children started itching as soon as they got into bed, and we all developed a rash. This made it impossible for us to sleep, and we ultimately decided to check out as soon as possible. While the surrounding area is nice, the hotel itself is poorly maintained and unhygienic. I strongly advise against booking here. It was an awful experience for my family, and I would not recommend this place to anyone.
