Wonderful room, service excellent. My experience was great. Front desk was beyond helpful. Food was fantastic. We had tickets for Snow Island and because of traffic and things we didn’t there until 4:30 Saturday afternoon. Thank goodness for the hotel. They more than made up for our awful day and we were so happy. 😀

Property is nice. Rooms are clean. The tv remote was horrible Took forever to turn on, hard to change channel & the volume was loud & you could not lower it. They have fireplaces but they turn it on for you. We requested it and half hour later we were tired of waiting around so we cancelled. We were told maintenance was working it’s way to us. Not very pleased as the the pricing is not inexpensive and then nothing worked in the room.
