The location is a little out of the way. We did not try the bar or food onsite but heard it was very good. The facility is dated and in need of a big facelift. Staff was great but we did have housekeeping walk in the room at 8:30 without knocking. Front desk staff were awesome.

The place is quite dated. No lobby with coffee. Not a good value for just a room to stay in. It’s great if you’re attending an event there and you’re drinking and shouldn’t drive. It is quiet, safe, and secluded.
