Property was clean and beautiful. The pool was a bit hazy green in color. Very disappointing since the town shops close early and the pool remains open a bit later.

Overall a decent place. The only outdoor seating was for smokers, so we were chased away pretty quick from enjoying the quiet evening. The breakfast was terrible. Hard, dry biscuits in Amish country is pretty disappointing.

Overall it’s a very nice hotel. We were on the 2nd floor and it was relatively quiet. One thing we notice was that the elevator was small and couldn’t accommodate my husband’s wheelchair but could his walker.
