Very uncomfortable mattress
The mattress was very uncomfortable and we had difficult time sleepy and my back and legs were sore for 3 days. As a proper run business no reason the mattress cannot be updated especially for the price you charged us. I would appreciate if someone could call me next week regarding this stay

I am so glad I chose this hotel for a last minute getaway to Grand Lake! My room was wonderful. The property has a wonderful space overlooking the lake where locals seem to gather for poker and football games. It’s not loud however. I enjoyed it very much. I will be back.

Just ok
The fireplace in our room did not work and the room was just ok. Shower pressure and curtain situation was awful, bathroom was not that clean. Room was mostly clean, although there was hair all over the floor and quilt from the previous room occupants.
