The room was nice and had a nice home like feel, the beds were super comfortable and the room was very clea. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Pool was the perfect place to relax and escape the heat of the day. As a solo traveler this one one of the only hotels I will stay at alone. I feel very safe there. It was very quiet, and conveniently located near local attractions, hiking and plenty of options to choose from for dinner. 10/10 would recommend staying here.

Clean but overpriced

If you're looking for the usual ammenities, this place isn't for you. Coffee, but no cream/sugar packets, no hair dryer, no ironing board, etc. It's bare bones and overpriced. BUT, it is VERY clean and the young lady running things is very sweet.

Very friendly staff and clean room. Blinds had a hole so people could see in the room and we were near the office more people about. A ratty looking riding mower sitting outside our room did not look appealing.
