My friends and I really enjoyed our two night stay. Our only complaint was we wished there was more than one trash can in the room. The pool area was very well kept and had a great aesthetic. The staff was very friendly.

No breakfast as the restaurant nearby is now a catering business, I believe. Parking is convenient, right in front of your door. The room was clean though the chair in the room was busted from a previous tenant, though would prefer to not have a chair anyway since it takes up extra space. The linoleum was also loose in spots in the bathroom, had air pockets underneath but all in all was a comfortable stay. No mold, no bugs. Could not hear the neighbors on either side. Enjoyed the pool and check in and out was easy.

On my trip I did a lot of hiking at some of the recomended trails near the hotel. They have excellent service and all of the employees were friendly. The room was clean and tidy. And the pool was a fantastic way to cool down yoyr muscles after hicking all day. I would recommend this hotel if you are looking for a clean,quiet, and friendly stay.

Pool very clean and outdoors! The historic battle fields, exploration and early exploration of Americ hiking is a must do when visiting.

The host and hostess were so friendly and helpful. While the rooms are a bit dated, they are CLEAN and NEAT! There was plenty of room for our family in the family suite. The beds were comfortable, and the linens were clean. It was close to Johnson’s Shut-Ins and Elephant Rock State Park. I would stay there with my family again!

Very dated hotel that was expensive for the lack of a maintenance and only 1 bed. Leaky toilet all over the bathroom floor and the water ran all night. We would not recommend this establishment nor would we stay there again.

Old fashioned hotel, clean, conveniently located near major attractions. Microwave/ refrigerator in room, very helpful since the area does not have good number of decent restaurants. Pilot knob is a little rural area with breathtaking views.

I was a little disappointed when I pulled up to the hotel. I paid $163 for 1 week night(Wed). I expected it to be nicer & newer. The room was clean, the check in process was simple & the lady that checked me in was super friendly & was full of info. Overall it was a great stay.
