The hotel is a bit run down. The property itself looked like it was in the middle of a construction project. Our room was very clean but the hotel could really use a makeover.

The staff is remarkable and the Tiki Bar had amazing burgers… it’s kind of outdated and the breakfast is coffee and tasty cakes… we stayed just one night so we could hike the falls and it was perfect for that! The view of the lake is pretty.
