We couldn't get the TV to work. Doors stuck. Pet friendly
We moved rooms 3 times. The 1st one was so musty smelling we couldn't even handle being in the room for more than 5 minutes. In our 2nd room it was still musty and the TV didn't work.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
I spilled some water in the floor right when we first got there. Wiped it with paper towels and they were black when done. Gross. If you get stuck in unit 10 I hope light doesn't bother you. At night it lights up like the Russian tea room. They switched from black out drapes to blinds.
Arrived at said reservation location, checked in, went to room and the Midge flies had infested the room. Most likely the maid had left the door open and forgot. There was a language barrier between the front desk clerk. Asked for another room; denied was told no rooms available yet one sat unused the whole night. Asked for a bed remake as the dead flies were in the sheets not just on. Clerk didn't bring all bed clothes and finally a woman appeared and remade the bed. This was over the 4th of July and no reservations were to be had anywhere in this area. He did offer to refund the room but as I mentioned this was my only choice and it cost over $300 usd. If you want a great view then prepare for far beyond quaint rustic and im used to sub-par conditions but never expected the uncleanliness of this establishment.
Host very friendly gave us a great room even had a fire pit ready to go…plenty of restaurants around to choose from and looking at the stars with the fire burning it’s just breathtaking
