Nice place overall. No ice machine and the pool has no water. Shower is beyond tiny and has a not stating to run it for a while as it takes time to get hot. After 20 minutes it was still only room temp. and could not be adjusted.

The worst place I’ve stayed on a vacation ever!!! No housekeeping, the room is too small, I can ever hear the people next door talking and snoring at midnight. They didn’t change linens, the bulbs are not working, the electric fan was too noisy to use, if you are tall and big you won’t fit it the shower. Terrible terrible place!!!!

Not worth it
I didn’t expect much going into it as I knew it was a lower rate, but it was probably the worst room we have stayed in. Our non-smoking room smelt so heavily of smoke and some sort of fragrance spray they had tried to use to cover the smell. All of our allergies were out of control the entire weekend when we were in the room because of that so we were miserable. There were spiders in every corner of the room, including the shower. The shower needed a good scrubbing as you could see mildew build up on corners, no ac in the room and all the screens were either broken or there weren’t one. No counter spaces. Luckily we had no plans to use the pool as it was empty with only about a foot of black water left in it. During check in no one was there and was advised to lift the tissue box and to grab a certain card # but all the other cards also under the tissue box displayed room #s and the codes to enter those rooms so not the most safe way to go about. Would not recommend to anyone.

Family Cabin
We really liked the family cabin. It had it's own entrance which was nice. You could tell it was an old building but had a modern day vibe. There's a burger place right next door in case you get hungry.

Not worth the stay
Smelled like there was a gas leak. Stove did not work. Heater did not work. Missing corbon monoxide detecter. Kitchen and bathroom windows did not have screens. There was missing floor boards. Floor was dirty. Shower floor had loose grout. Door code took a few tries to work and door nob felt very loose. Walls were different colors, did not look estheticly pleasing. When we went to take our dogs out we spotted a bear in the parking lot. We were unaware of this danger. Very outdated facility. Not worth the price we paid.

Disappointed
The room was super small, no ac, but the moment I touched the bed I knew we weren’t staying here. We spent less than 15 minutes there. We didn’t even take our things out of the car. I knew if we’d stay we wouldn’t sleep. It was for my birthday weekend and I didn’t care about the lose of money. As you can see we booked a different hotel the same day. The second hotel was way better.

Property was very run down and is in need of many improvements. Our stove was moved forward and had very old food behind it ie: hamburger meat. Lady that checked us in was extremely nice. Property and rooms need help. Our door would only lock half the time.

Nice place
Ok the service here was great. I wish I could rate it full stars for the service alone. Downsides were that The pool was out of service, but I wasn’t expecting it to be open anyways, and the pool wasn’t advertised. Also there is no AC in the rooms and I need the temp to be very cold when I sleep so that was a dealbreaker for us booking there again. Also, at one point we opened the back window (which had no screen) and there was a bear outside the window because the trash cans were literally right outside the back of our window. So in addition to it being hot, we couldnt open the back window to get airflow because the bear lunged at my husband when he had looked out there. Very clean, water was scalding hot, or cold, had to find the sweet spot.
