The room is a good size and clean. Beds are comfy. Website breakfast times do not match the QR you are asked to scan in the room. Small pool is a nice touch.

Arrived to check in after driving over 2 hours to get there. Told him my reservation and he said it would be up to me but i reserved their last room and it had no tv, no heat and no microwave then just chuckled. WHY WOULD U RENT A ROOM OUT THATS CLEARLY NOT FIT TO STAY IN IN 2 DEG WEATHER???? We have always stayed there but will never be back ever. They left us with no place to stay 8 pm on a friday night and the ass behind the counter just smirked. Will never be back ever

Although not modern, the room was clean and well maintained. Be aware that we had to deal with a flight of stairs to get to our room and with our disabilities this was an annoyance but we enjoyed our stay and would go back again if we could get a main level room.
