8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2026
Great location. The room was large and well appointed. Very nice bathroom. Nice sitting area in the room. There were coffee and snacks available in the office. Fire pit in the parking lot area was nice, but the chairs were hard and uncomfortable.
There really wasn’t any common area to spend any time in. I needed to get out of the room for a little bit because my husband didn’t feel well and there was really nowhere to go except a coffee shop.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2026
Room was very nice, well furnished and the bed was enormous and very comfortable
The price of this hotel is eye watering….especially as they offer no breakfast. The bathroom was quite pokey
