A group of us was tubing the river nearby and decided to stay a night rather than drive four hours home and we are glad we did! At least for our experience, everything was great! The hot tub and pool was nice. The staff was welcoming and friendly. The beds were comfy and the room we had fit four people comfortably. However, I think it is near a railroad because we would hear a train throughout the night but besides that, we slept fine. There is multiple food options near by as well.

Rooms smelled like mildew. Thermastat did not work. They never came and looked at it when we complained. Shower head was broken. We had to hold it to shower. Housekeeping was rude. We came in one night and the front desk girl had her head down sleep. Breakfast was terrible. We asked to check out after day 2 because we couldnt take it anymore but they refused to refund us so we just left. I don’t recommend them.
