Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was excellent at this property. In fact if it were not for them I would have a hard time giving it a 2. The beds are terrible and should have been replaced long before. The pool was nice, however, it was an indoor pool and the glass doors surrounding it were almost all rusted shut. It was 90 degrees outside so if they were open you might have some cross breeze to make using it a nicer amenity. The place was clean.

Very pleased with the property & location. Bed was comfortable & very nice amenities. The only problem was the room temperature was good but there was a lot of moisture in the air so the floor was wet (and a little dirty).

Great price, location, and staff

My family of three stayed here one night after climbing at nearby Mt. Yonah. It was a great price and location, and the staff was extremely kind. The beds were not that comfortable, and I certainly wouldn't have stayed in a double bed for more than one night, but it was exactly what I expected, and I would recommend it.
