Nice hotel, clean and quiet. We had our team meetings onsite and the staff did an excellent job with the meeting room and the meals. The hotel room was quiet nice, but a little dated.

Wonderful hotel. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful stay. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. It was so nice to have a restaurant on site and a small bar to relax. It was also great to have a nice convenience area to pick up some fun gear, meds and sweet treats. Will definitely be staying here again.

Great staff!
I have stayed here often and, while the purpose for my trip fell through and I had to cancel my reservation, the staff were warmly friendly and went to bat for me with the online agency I'd booked my reservation through, to get the charges refunded. Thanks!

2/10 Poor

Awful outdated motel rooms
This hotel is a catfish. It looked well enough in photos but once in my room it was an outdated motel. The lobby is nice,but thats where it ends. The outdoor couches & firepit were not there,only construction materials,mostly fiberglass bundles. The room was dingy,dirty & outdated. Seriously like a roadside motel. There was toothpaste on the wall in the bathroom,stains all over the furniture, uncomfortable bed..just unpleasant all around. The Weber is far superior & usually about the same price for a king room. Go there,you'll thank me.
