3 night stay

Overall a nice, large room. There was a layer of dust on the tabletops, and the floor was quite dirty. There are not a lot of options in the area, so I would stay there again, but will ask for a vacuum cleaner to be available.

Room was so bright with outside deck and intermittent car lights from parking lot. Property is run down and a mess. Bathroom had 4 lights over the mirror with 2 of them burned out. A box of Kleenex would have been a luxury. There was a dead bug in the medicine cabinet. You could clearly hear everything in the adjoining rooms.

The codes for the room doors are generic, meaning every guest can figure out every room’s code. Completely inadequate security. I barricaded my door and still had a hard time sleeping. Also, there was no hot water for a morning shower.

Not bad for a night

Overall, it was good for what we needed, which was a decent place to stay overnight after a concert. Check in was a little confusing because you actually have to go into the bar/restaurant that’s attached & check in at the bar…..but, there was nothing that tells you that, we just circled the building until we decided we’d go inside & see if they could direct us…..which they did, but it would have been helpful to have some sort of sign that said “check-in.” We watched several people pull up & circle the building because they were just as confused as we were! But, the bar/restaurant that was attached had a very chill vibe with cool bartenders & the food was really good, especially after driving 3 hours! Rooms were cozy for the night…..bed wasn’t super comfortable, but for 1 night, it was ok. The town itself is pretty desolate, so to have a room that also had a bar/restaurant attached was pretty ideal!

The location is beautiful, but unfortunately, we did not have a pleasant experience. Although the rooms were being renovated with new equipment, they were extremely dirty, and it was difficult to locate the person in charge. Additionally, there was no internet connection, and the beds were uncovered. The bathroom was also very dirty and appeared to have been recently used.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
John was super helpful with getting the lack of hot water fixed. He even brought us towels because who ever cleaned the room only put hand towels. The floors were dirty and the bed only had one sheet on it couldn’t tell if it was top or bottom. Only 2 creamers for the coffee station and one coffee cup. We were told to come to the bar for drinks.. but still was charged for 1 of them. Next time I think we will spend the extra money and stay somewhere else. No offense to John or his wife who was super sweet and fun to talk to. But he needs to get his housekeeping staff some training. I was a house cleaning supervisor and I wouldn’t let anyone stay in those rooms.
Over flowing and it stuck so much! Also a dead animal in the parking lot.
Dirt all over the floors, like it wasn’t cleaned in a few weeks
Mis matched curtains
Could have easily put the blue one here n then it’d have looked better

This was a 2 night hotel stay. The only way to our room was a narrow spiral staircase you had to carry your suitcase down, the tv didn’t work in the room, there was no warm water at all, there was no trash can in the room, lamp by the bed didn’t work, the closet had a light on that couldn’t be turned off, there were no wash cloths, the towel had a bug in it. We had a busy day planned so ate we got ready we went to leave and the room wouldn’t lock. We tried for 20 minutes and it just wouldn’t lock. There was no one available to get help so we packed and left at 10:30am

Go in restaurant to chk in (but posted hrs diff). VERY run down. All doors exterior. Mine had been kicked in - not fixed well but painted over. Door didn't lock & obviously hadn't for some time. Sketchy people hanging outside all night. Chk in process confusing- staff rude/ very unwelcoming. Webs with lots of bugs everywhere. Curtains didn't shut completely. On river but rafting launch ruins atmosphere. Could be done differently but no effort to keep tidy area - stuff everywhere/ messy. Bathroom decent.
