The room is way outdated, my wife cut her knee on the trim around the tub and I told the front desk and it wasn’t fixed . The grab handle in the tub came out when my wife try to grab it to stand up . There was feces from a bear at the bottom of the stairs. I informed them at the front desk and they never cleaned it up. We. Ended up using the other stairs the rest of are stay . Very disappointed. I had to ask then to clean the room and give us fresh toilets . We have stayed there at least 6 times but this was the last time. My wife was extremely disappointed and ready to stay about all the kind of employment. They act like it was no big deal.

I cannot speak for the main property. We were placed across the street in the older building. The bed and pillows were hard and uncomfortable. Very old carpet. The furniture has been updated, but the room itself was very old. Cleanliness was average. Not horrible, but price should reflect the condition of the property. Definitely not worth what we paid. The indoor pool area is dated, but clean.
