The lady who helped me was lovely, but nothing was updated at the hotel nor on the Expedia app for this hotel. She told me to stay out of sight with my dog-made me nervous. I tried to call Expedia to say they don’t allow dogs my pet’s size and the fees were not clearly written on there and they do not include breakfast at this hotel. The phone didn’t work in my room and the bathroom faucet leaked. The carpet was brown dirty to the touch and a bear got on my car (and I traveled with 2 little children). Not cool.

The room that we received was very spacious. I loved the layout with the bedroom being an upstairs loft. I looked clean and quaint with an old fashioned look to it. However, we booked a three night stay. We didn’t return until after 10 pm nightly. The upstairs toilet had issues with the tank not refilling. Then, we saw a roach on night one while watching television. On night two, we saw seven roaches throughout the room. Needless to say, we cut our trip short and checked out the following morning. The management refunded my money without any issues. If it hadn’t been for the roaches, that room would have been a nice place to stay since it was quiet.

Room smelled heavily of mildew. No additional pillows were available. Staff was not very caring. Food was decent in cafe. Main bldg seemed to be in better shape, but the bldg across the street (ours) needs a lot of attention.

It was an affordable, clean place to stay that allowed our pug to stay with us. My kids and I loved the pools and hot tub. The room was basic, exactly as described, but all we needed. The breakfast at the poolside cafe was delicious. We will definitely be staying here anytime we bring our doggy.
