Rooms were very nice, clean and spacious. Service in the restaurant was not very good or clean. Seating was limited beacuse tables were not bussed. People raved about the breakfast but it was limited, table was messy, and they didn't replenish. When an item like fruit or bread ran out, it was gone. Go early or miss out.

Hotel was great. Shuttle into town was nice option. Bed was very un comfortable the first night. They gladly moved us to a different room. Bed was much better. We’d definitely stay there again.

Amenity Fee

Inn was fine but they tacked on a $25/day plus tax “Amenity Fee”. Just a shady way of charging another $25/day for the room. If they want to refund this I would consider staying there again.
