The property was kept up very well and they had it decorated for Halloween, which was super cute. Staff was very friendly and had complimentary popcorn in the evening. Proximity to town and dining was great and close to the freeway. It was a little pricey, but we were there during peak fall foliage season. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We’ve stayed here before and will continue to come back if we’re in the area.
