10/10 Exceptional

Great Staff

The Hotel itself was very clean it was a little dated but was exactly what I expected from the pictures. The location was amazing and the restaurant onsite made it the perfect place to stay. Staff was all friendly and very helpful

Richard, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was quite dated but clean. The restaurant was excellent with very friendly waitresses. We would stay there again because it was economical. Could use a bed upgrade.

Dated but comfortable rooms. Beautiful grounds
Janet, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

May visit

Limited options in this area. The rooms are obviously old (staining on walls, bathtub, towels, peeling wallpaper, goles in window screens), but the bed was comfortable enough, there is running water, and a restaurant on site.

8/10 Very good

Cabin was clean, but very outdated.
David, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient

If you just want a clean place to sleep, outfitted with a microwave, fridge and a restaurant this will work. The beds were ok and the location was convenient to park trails. It was extremely hot the first night but the a/c was so loud we turned it off and opened the windows. In our unit there was a lack of accessible electrical sockets so if you have a few things you need to plug in for charging better bring your own multi-plugin power bar etc.

Greg, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pat, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not a great place to stay if your looking for some basic room necessities; no bar fridge to keep drinks or food cold, no microwave and it takes forever to get hot water for a shower.
