Check in was kind of strange- I was standing like 10 min till check in person (EJ) finished phone conversation with someone resolving some billing issue . No “ be right with you “, no “ sorry about that “ just ignore someone standing in front . After he was done he did apologised but still the whole situation was strange . Breakfast is average…area around hotel is clean and parking is convenient and free .

Lovely place

We try to get up to this area yearly to relax and do some fishing. Loved our room, but the room needed more pictures on the wall or even better, more hooks to hang things up on. Be great to hang damp clothes and bathing suits on a hook. Room had two hooks by ice bucket, but more would be fantastic. There was a huge,blank wall between the ice bucket ledge and tv console. Seeing how room only had two drawers, hooks would be great.
