Everything was great except for the heating/cooling unit. It was either too hot or too cold.

You had to walk a distance to the hot pool. There wasn't any spare blankets, the table was wobbly & couldn't use it for eating purposes. No other place to sit down orher than the bed. The bathroom was great, nice tub & spacious, plenty of towels. No toilet paper holder. Tv service was so, so. Only could watch a few channels other than pay per view.

Roomy but outdated

First of all, this is a very old hotel. They have space heaters in ours did not work and had to change it out at least two times. There’s a nice pool in the back of the hotel and it’s very close to everything. The Hotel has both back in front entrance with different keys.

The room I booked was not the room I was given to. The advertising showed something and the one I was given was the wrong one. When talked to Jenny the manager she was not willing to work with me. So I refused to stay.

Everything was Great from the time we checked in, The only thing I recommend is that the jetted tubs that are advertised are not actually jetted. It was a little disappointed, but it was over all a Great Location, and the rooms where clean, and the bed was soft. One thing is maybe bring your own blanket, the one provided in the room is thin, and if you go when its cooler weather it can get a little cold. I would stay again.

We staid at the cabin which was so cute and well laid out. It was a little noisy the floor was very creaky and the window unit was very loud when it turned on. But all in all it was still a nice relaxing stay conveniently located in town we were able to walk to the restaurants and the main pools. We were a bit disappointed the pool was yellow they said it was because the river water levels were high. However we did see that other pools near by the water all semed ok and not yellow.
