Decent place but not for the price cabin was full Of insects and worn carpet and pans and utensils were not very clean. There was a used dirty spatual just laying on the grill. For the price we paid did not meet expectations. We left a day early and paid for a unsed night we were just done. We went to the pool and there were no towels the coffee maker didnt work properly leaked and was a small five cup maker for a townhome for 6-8 people.

We were pleasantly surprised with our stay. Our meal of ribs and my wife's wrap were very good. They had live music and the singer was very good and fun. Our room had a smell when you first walked in. Hard to describe? Musty? It seemed to pass after about 10 minutes. I would recommend this hotel and restaurant. We will definitely return.

Water supply died while I was taking shower. It came back few minutes later only to die again. Front desk person was the most unwelcoming I have ever seen. Unfortunately I have another reservation which is too late to cancel but would try to avoid this place in the future.

First impression, dirty dishes put away in cupboards, random persons belt left on kitchen chair, dental floss picks on bathroom floor, pull out couch not stripped from previous guests. Great location. Room had a great set up. Really disappointed in cleanliness of room. A lot of money spent and a disappointment.
