It was OK but less than what I expected. The web site refers to it as a 'lodge'. Based on the price I did not have high expectations. Maybe the sheets were clean but they did not seem fresh. There was a bundle of TP under the unclean bedspread. Would not book again at any price.

The room was cute. There was what looked like a big dried coffee spill on the bathroom sink when I arrived, and the comforter had a slightly unpleasant smell. Otherwise was clean, comfortable. The woman that checked me in was very nice. Close to natural bridge area. Coffee shop next door was great. No internet or cell service so be warned. Good for the price.

I think it was clean other than that the coffee in our room was horrible. It was a excellent stay, just passing through, met all our needs. On a personal note I liked the decor it was awesome to stay in this roon I am use to 4 stars or above and love this place. The shower was awesome and the small town gIrl who was the maid was pleasing to the eyes.
