Would stay again for location.

Room was outdated and had a musty odor. Shower was warm at best. Got hit for a min and then back to warm. Bed and pillows were ehh. Not terrible but definitely not plush comfort.

It's a great spot to stay. The rooms are more rustic than a modern hotel, but that's part of the charm and fits the overall property as well as the locale.

Property was a historic hotel. Main building was charming with hotel rooms, restaurant, bake shop, patios, gazebo, event venues. There were also motor lodge buildings that we’re very old and in need of renovation. This is where my room was.

Check in was smooth and easy - seems to be an older property - but in a really good way! BIG room for a really good price; the room we were in was a building far from the main property (not ideal in the rain) but it meant couldn't hear noise from restaurant or people coming and going. Nice fluffy towels - would stay here again if i the area
