Served it's purpose. Room was clean and very quiet. Comfy beds. Had an issue with water coming thru the ceiling in the bathroom in the morning, but front desk came and cleaned it up right away. not the wakeup I expected, but they took care of it. Never found breakfast in the morning, but overall a good stay. Super friendly staff. Mini fridge in room was much appreciated.

I did not expect much as I was only staying for a night and needed a bed. I found a tick in one of the beds, the comforter had stains and the room looked like it hadn’t been cleaned. Finally, there was only one lock on the door (the knob part) which can easily get broken into.

The room was nicely decorated and cozy and clean. The beds were very comfortable. I have never stayed in a hotel that had a queen bed and also a bunkbed that had a twin on top and a queen or full on the bottom. It was quite unique. The shower was wonderful and had great water pressure. We would stay there again if ever in the area.

A little worn on the edges but the room was clean and comfortable. Hard to find anyone at the desk. Always empty so you had to ring a bell and disturb the family in their quarters. It made the place seem less professional.

Given that it's the only hotel in town, the niche--hunting lodge--decor is a bad choice. Everything is in cringingly bad taste. But the bed was comfy and there were plenty of pillows, so points for that.

We got the room with the jacuzzi tub and it was well worth it. So relaxing and quiet. The room/hotel is a little outdated. One of the lamps in our room was held together with black electrical tape but overall decent. We enjoyed the peace and quiet. Breakfast was just ok. Only eggs, toast, bagels,coffee etc. but there are a good amount of places to eat nearby.

Amazing slide of the hands with the rate. The owners of the hotel are really suck. The tell you one rate on the website charge you another at the front desk. A LOT more. After a long day of traveling that isn’t what anyone needs.

The room was big and really nice. The staff was pretty nice. Didn't see them a whole lot.bed and room we decently clean. There was a decent amount of parking area. Not a whole lot open to go to around the hotel, especially if you need anything after around 8ish at night. Can be hard to see the hotel at night. It is a relatively quiet and good area to stay at. We enjoyed our stay especially for the type of event we were in the area for.

We came just for an overnight from out of state and were late due to a wedding reception but had no problems checking in. The hotel was beautifully themed and clean and very new looking. We booked a jacuzzi suite and i had to call desk because i didnt know how to use jacuzzi and they were wonderful in walking me through it.

Overall it was a good experience. The hotel was clean. Front desk staff was nice and helpful. Breakfast had a decent selection, but if you’re not a waffle or cereal person you will want to go out for breakfast. Bed was comfy and clean. The decor was a little dated, but I liked the rustic cabin vibe. Overall I would recommend and stay again.

For the price, it’s just what we expected and for one night it suited our needs just fine. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Cute decor and it was clean. Beds were fine. Breakfast was the only let down because there was only minimal selection. Bagged bagels, cereal, bananas. Sausage, granola bars etc. Just fine for a quick stay.

Nice and quiet, easy to get to, and nice outdoor inspired decor but not overdone. The breakfast was very disappointing. Instant packages of oatmeal, toast, prepackaged muffins and sweet rolls, and packages of junk food like you find by the counters in grocery stores. We went elsewhere for breakfast. We would stay therr again.
