Very nice hotel out in a pretty rural area. Nice pool. I was in a newly upgraded room which was nice. My only suggestion for improvement is the toilet is very, very low, for older people that’s difficult and no handrails or pull bars. Other wise great.

8 of us came from Illinois to ride Brimstone. The hotel was clean, shower pressure amazing, and staff very sweet. We had the 2nd floor breezeway between all 4 rooms so we could set up our blackstone and a small table to cook nightly. It was absolute perfect and would highly recommend.

Great room.

The room was nice. No carpet means no germs or grit on the floor. Room was clean. The continental breakfast was terrible. That was the only downside of the hotel. So if you want breakfast, go elsewhere or if they get a new cook.

Dirty

The room was very dirty. The bedding was filthy and had to be changed, shower was grimy, and it was like the floor had never been swept. The service was fairly quick when new bedding was asked for.

Liked: Cleanliness
When we arrived to check in, the lobby door was locked. The owner showed up quickly, but it was still jarring to have to call for assistance—never had to do that before. Room was clean but towels and washcloths were dingy looking. Bed was very comfortable. Property looked somewhat rundown.

Fresh Rooms

I am traveling alone so greatly appreciated that my room number wasn't shouted across the lobby when presented with my room key. I was given an upstairs room without asking. The room was large enough to be comfortable. The fridge n microwave were appreciated. The room has been freshly upgraded with paint, flooring, furniture, mattresses and bedding. Everything looks and smells fresh.
