Very nice stay at Christmas. Great rooms, great staff, great location. The only thing that was missig was that little extra Christmas touch. It would have been nice to be given a few cookies, chocolates or candies to celebrate the holidays.

Musty, crusty, noisy and old. Our first room was over top of a holiday party and it sounded like they were in the bedroom with us. We moved to the "little hotel" which was equipped much like the state park cabins I've stayed in :( . Everything smelled musty, the carpet felt damp, and the walls were paper thin. Poor experience for sure. Staff was kind but overall it stunk.
