The thermostat in my room was apparently stuck and The heat would not shut off overnight. I called maintenance and the front desk several times with no answer. I suffered through the night with the heat when maintenance arrived around 9 AM after I finally got a hold of them he made a comment that it was my fault because I had said it on that, I told him I didn’t. I just tried to turn the heat on and then he commented oh it looks like it’s stuck.

I can’t rave enough about my experience at the fireside inn. I have extreme anxiety it’s hard for me to leave home and be around people I don’t know but everyone here was so kind and genuine it really made me feel safe and at home staying here. Our room was beautiful with a large window and fireplace there was a gorgeous pool and sauna that stayed open late and a beautiful gift shop packed with snacks. Even the grout in the shower was clean. Thank you fireside for a vacation that I will remember forever.

Lovely Stay
Check-in was easy, the room was clean, and the beds were very comfortable. We brought our two dogs and our night was very pleasant. The lobby has a comfortable seating area next to the fire, and the grab-and-go breakfast was satisfying (breakfast sandwich, granola bars, fruit cups). We didn’t swim but the pool, workout room, sauna, and hot tub all looked very clean and well kept. We regretting not bringing swimsuits! I would definitely stay here again.
