I think it’s a great location. But the rooms need updating. The bed was especially disappointing and shouldn’t be used as it was sagging and pillows need updating. They doubled the rate because it was graduation weekend and frankly we deserved better. Shame on greed.

Nice but not very full featured. No closet to hang your clothes (there were hangers behind the mirror but hard to access)

Ice machine out of order for the three days we were there. Front desk acted surprised everytime I mentioned it. No propane in outdoor heaters. Breakfast was good.
