Great stay
Great place! Stayed overnight as I was visiting family in the area.
Hotel was clean with super comfortable beds, friendly and helpful front desk staff and restaurant on-site. Ate breakfast prior to leaving. Buffet with plenty of options. Food and service both great!

Amazing place
We did have issues with our shower, we did not report until our last night. The front desk was very receptive to our complaint.
We have stayed here before and love the hotel. First time we ate in the restaurant, the food and service were amazing, will certainly eat there more next time we stay!!

Thanksgiving stay
Hotel was very nice. Love the remoteness and the ambiance. The only thing I hated was the mattress. It was lumpy & hard and should be replaced ASAP.
