Front desk was very welcoming and the hotel was very clean. Maybe it's a little aging like the dresser missing the handle or a screw falling from the chair as I was sitting there. The soda in the cooler and the breakfast (wrapped coffee/pound cakes) were expired but there were other breakfast options and a nice warm fireplace that was on in the day time.

We absolutely loved our stay! Going off-season is key. Sandi, the front manager, was fabulous and we had many engaging conversations. The room was amazing, the room where the breakfast was served was extremely welcoming, the location was wonderful and I honestly cannot say enough great things about our visit!

Internet great, heat air is very very loud.
The bathroom shower pole is broken.
Otherwise staff is as always great.
There is a fee that wasn’t applied previously and maybe need to update the above mentioned .
