Hotel was clean. Breakfast was good. Staff were pleasant and kind. Coffee and tea were avaliable 24 hours. This was nice after a long day on the walking trails. Location was the main reason I selected the hotel. Only dunkin' donuts was within walking distance. Would recommend this hotel. The indoor pool is great for families with kids.

First -we would definitely visit hotel again! Extremely friendly staff. From front desk to cleaning staff - very positive folks - smiles and human. We accidentally left an important biz folder in our room and had to return to hotel to retrieve. Front desk safeguarded and gave it back safe and sound. Another front desk person took the time to share many helpful insights into places we were visiting. Amazing Halloween theme seasonal decor. Big deer ran across back of property. Nice facilities for relaxing visit.
