Staff was very friendly. Lobby & breakfast area was comfortable, clean and felt very "homey". Pool was great for the kids and the hot tub was for mom and dad. It helped us out tremendously that we were able to check in early.

It's a Lodge theme and the lobby is filled with big comfy chairs and sofas along with giant board games. It is soooo warm and inviting! There's a firepit outside and nearby walkable restaurants.

The theme was fun for the lodge. It was beautiful. But I did not get to use the pool or Jacuzzi and that's the one reason I rented that room. Way too much chlorine. It made it to hard to breath.

Didn't have the normal feel of a hotel when you walk in the door. Felt more homey and less corporate. Overall great place to stay.
