8.4/10 Very Good! (1,093 reviews)
The property was great. It felt like a decently modern cabin in the woods. The people working there are absolutely amazing. Super friendly and curteous. The location is quite easy to find, it is quite steep up the hill. Every hotel we stay I try to give a review based on 3 things. 1. Hospitality, 2. Premise and experience 3. Above and betodn beyond I would give it all a 5 star except the going above and and beyond. There was about 2 occasions where I needed little bit of help and both were failed. I needed to borrow a computer mouse for an hour, I had to check in

8.6/10 Excellent! (2,094 reviews)
Yes, the area was clean. Yes, the staff was friendly. The free breakfast was below average.Don’t feel like it was in a very Travel friendly location for commuting. Ice machine was out in the building. I informed the front desk which and told me to go to the pool house for ice. That ice machine was also out. Wi-Fi absolutely horrible most of time it was unavailable.
