    Best Place Ever!
    The staff was so friendly and helpful, even with our super late check in and check out! My fiancé and I were treated like absolute royalty during our stay. The relaxed atmosphere is perfect for business trips, or even a trip away from the house which is exactly what we did! Our…

    Decent quaint hotel
    Clean and quaint hotel decorated in a wilderness theme. I used Hotwire and got a good deal on a Sunday night. Room was spacious. Decent bed comfort. The walls are paper thin and I could hear every footstep. I could also hear the neighbor snoring loudly. That could have been an…

    Hi, was wondering what time the breakfast starts in the morning?
    6 am - I know that's correct because we left by 7 for a ball tournament (unless they started breakfast early since more than one team was staying there).

    what is minimum check in age?
    I have never asked that question as I am a senior but most hotels are either 18 or 21. You have to call the hotel for that information Thank you so much for asking
