7.4/10 Good! (1,005 reviews)
Enjoyed our stay. The only issue was getting in the side doors in our hallway. The sun obstructs the card device, so people propped the doors open to get in and out. Other than that, it was fine.

The staff was friendly and we arrived early and they happily accommodated us for n early check in. The facility is simple. But clean and the location is perfect. I would definitely stay again.

Free ~30-minute guided tours at 10am and 2pm! They also have about five trails for you to explore on your own. Favorite part - the cows that you see by the road (and on the road) when driving to this building! I guess the solar panels and wind turbines are also pretty cool. ;)
