"There was a maintenance issue that made our ceiling fan inoperable and when I alerted them, they seemed genuinely caring to make it right. It wasn’t a big deal though so hopefully they fixed it once we left. Pool and hot tub next door was great, staff friendly and the breakfasts were a nice touch. Some improvements could be made there (like pouring milk more easily) but no biggie. We’ll return!"

"Room was great, would've been wonderful to have a balcony of sorts to enjoy the outdoors from our room. We didn't use the pool area or hot tubs, they were always packed. It would've also been nice to be able to order room service, the "in room dining" was you ordering and walking down to the restaurant to pick up your food and walk back to your room. You also cannot check out from your room, that feature seems to be broken. Other than that we had a great time and the staff was really friendly!"

Blue Door Inn

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I appreciated having coffee and a refrigerator in the room. My second floor room had windows that faced the front and rear of the property and the views were nice. I enjoyed seeing elk right outside the window. The breakfast was ok - quite a few choices; yogurt, juice, cereal, pastries, toast, biscuits & gravy, scrambled eggs & apples. The biggest disappointment was the condition of the outside of the building. It gave me a little bit of a negative first impression. The paint was worn, as were the carpets on the walkways. The cement and asphalt were lumpy, making it somewhat difficult to walk safely. Overall, I had a pleasant stay and would stay again."
