Great hotel for a quick getaway!
Pros:

It was clean, close to the main road, easy to find and park, had all I needed for a quick one night stay so I could go hiking early the next morning! I didn’t have breakfast, but would have if I wasn’t leaving so early!

Cons:

Nothing really, it suited my needs perfectly!

Awesome
Pros:

Kevin was the absolute best!! What wonderful service. We loved the location and the room was spacious and clean. Plenty towels, comfy clean beds and pillows. AC unit worked perfect. TV was fine, no cable I think but lots of channels.

Cons:

We couldn't find trash bins around the property. We usually like to throw away our own pizza boxes and other big disposables but didn't see one. Everything else was great!
