The highlight of this hotel is definitely the decor! If you enjoy the outdoors, this is a great place to stay. The room was clean and quiet. We enjoyed spending time in the hot tub and the indoor/outdoor pool. We did run into a slightly awkward situation when a staff member was yelling on her personal phone, but we walked away and hope this is not a common occurrence.

The room was clean and comfortable. Microwave, coffee, and refrigerator all clean and working nicely. Breakfast was quite good (toaster oven is elderly, though, and doesn't toast). Pool and hot tub were impressive. Hallway walls and carpet are very shoddy and dirty and spots are ripped. With the quality of the rest of the hotel, we were quite surprised these public-facing areas were allowed to become so thread-worn. Bar and restaurant were good, with exceptional staff friendliness. We'd stay again, but replace the carpet and the breakfast toaster, please!

There was a cute moose outside. This property seemed very large. A maze of hallways and floors. We stayed in a suite on the ground level. Simply put, this hotel needs an update. Carpeting was thread bare, worn through and kinked up in hallways/room. The provided soaps/shampoo dispenser in the shower was opened up and no body wash, no bars of soap. The furniture was dingy and old. So gross. I didn’t want to touch anything. I really should have taken pictures, as you wouldn’t believe it. Im glad we only stayed one night. Oh, and there was no secured internet. We even called to the front desk to ask about password. She said to use the public WiFi. Interesting.

Average & dated

Large facility. Ample parking. Check-in was a bit cumbersome. After a long drive, we were looking for an after a long drive, we were looking for a restroom in the front lobby, which is down by the convention area. Restroom needed attention. Attendant said they’d put us in adjoining rooms, but when we got to the rooms, they were actually across the hall from each other. Air-conditioning in rooms but communal spaces and hallways have none. Limited places to eat if you arrive late in the evening. One of the rooms Did not have hand soap at the bathroom sink and the other bathroom had someone’s hair in the tub that was not ours. The hotel said it is pet friendly, which it is, but at check-in, we were not charged a pet fee and then upon leaving, they called to let us know that we needed to settle up. This made it very awkward since we weren’t advised that there would be a fee.
