Didn't have the normal feel of a hotel when you walk in the door. Felt more homey and less corporate. Overall great place to stay.

Loved the atmosphere. When I arrived I felt welcomed And the front desk was very helpful, making me feel this way. My room was clean and it was comfortable. The swimming pool and hot tub area was also clean. The water was warm, We really enjoyed using it. The hotel was decorated with a cabin Lodge theme that I really enjoyed. Truly a beautiful hotel. I love d the old fashioned milk machine breakfast. And I also loved that they had oatmeal made, Rather than having to make your own oatmeal, each packaged individually in a plastic cup. I hate that kind of oatmeal. Breakfast was hot and ready on time each day. Steph was always available to help help with any needs!
