Pros:

Hotel was adequate for one night, but would not choose to stay here again. We were initially given a room key for a room that was already occupied. Not an ideal first impression to walk into someone else in your room. We were assigned a new room which smelled of stale smoke. Pool and hot tub were nice. Breakfast had a limited selection but was available, only until 9am so don’t sleep in.

Our weekend UTV’ing trip.
Pros:

We went to this hotel for a weekend UTV’ing trip. Hotel is right by access to trails which was wonderful. The actual building is a little run down and old, but the staff and service were exceptional. Pool are was older, but maintained. New carpets throughout the entire building, but beds and pillows are definitely outdated. We will come back again.

Hotel review
Pros:

Beds were uncomfortable. Beds were not made during the day. Rooms smelt like moisture. Holes in screens. I was given damp towels to use at the pool. Had to request a second queen sheet for bed as first one kept falling off.
