This is a beautiful hotel in a great area with beautiful views. It is very clean and smells good in the hallway, which most hotels have weird smells. The beds are really comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the restaurant food and service is great. I don’t go in the pool but the sauna and whirlpool were nice. They hand you towels as you enter and I saw an employee test the water of the pool, so I’m sure it is clean too. It was very quiet at night. The only thing I didn’t like was the water pressure of the shower.

This property was fantastic. The room was great. The bed was absolutely amazing and I enjoyed dinner at the roadhouse across the street in walking distance. Unfortunately, when I arrived at 9 PM, I was not allowed in the restaurant or bar that was on site even though I arrived at 9 o’clock, and I had also called ahead to let them know I would be there right around closing, but no one would go the extra mile or help along on the road traveller and for the price they charge you think they would.
