Our check in was amazing. The friendliest worker I have ever encountered. Room was a bit warm, even after turning down temp. Bedding is hot. Slept great though. Mold in bathroom shower not a lot, guessing by looks it’s just old

The hotel itself was fine. Staff was fine except for the fact that no one was ever at the front desk. They were always in the office off to the side. You’d have to stand there for a bit before they would hear someone out there. Maybe a bell to ring might help? The breakfast was nice. We went up to ride the Back of the Dragon rd but besides that. There isn’t really anything to do there in November. We booked a stay Frid- Mon and checked out a day early. We were bored but nothing to do with the hotel.

Employees at the hotel could not have been nicer.! So much so that I had a suspicion they thought I was a spy, secret shopper, etc for the company! Super nice. They even called me after check in to see how it went and if everything went well! And The room had amenities that a higher end hotel provides. A Keurig was provided ( we travel with our own ) so the in room coffee was leaps above the standard hotel coffee maker. Our room was convenient to the breakfast area tho where the breakfast and coffee was free and awesome. Even tho the hotel has some age ( I stayed here over 10 years ago ). Everything looked new without looking “refurbished”.

Rooms were clean. Dining area and check in area were clean. However, the pool was horrible! Some of our family had got in and realized how dirty the bottom was and immediately got out and went to shower.
