Charming, fun and thoughtfully designed
Pros:

This is a charming and unusually fun hotel that feels thoughtfully designed. Our room with two queen beds was clean, practical and included exceptionally comfortable beds. The lobby has plenty of personality, the staff were friendly and the hotel fits perfectly with the pleasant little town around it. A memorable and enjoyable stay. We cannot wait to return.

Really Enjoyed Our Stay
Pros:

This is a fabulous hotel if you are traveling with your pet. The pet rooms are very cute and charming. Our group also had a non-pet room which was nice as well. Staff were all great.

Cigarettes, cigarettes and more cigarettes
Pros:

It was late and the hotel I had wanted to stay in was sold out. They were nice at check in but the room left a lot to be desired mainly because everything reeks of cigarette smoke. Disgusting. Also, the pillows are way too full. Couldn't get comfortable. Shower stall leaks all over the floor. Mattress more firm than I thought when I heard temperpedic. Some cute decor touches but shower getting floor soaked, the stench of cigarettes and the way too firm/lofty pillows made this stay miserable. Didn't say anything because it was late. They really should just be a casino and have everyone polluting each other's health and get out of the business of running a hotel with "non smoking" rooms for people who don't enjoy polluting and harming their bodies.

Found Gold in E!y!
Pros:

This little gem is a real find for those of us needing a stopover for one night. Excellent staff and a spacious, well appointed and very clean room! The decorating touches throughout the hotel are very interesting and colorful.
The restaurant, called Margaritas, had huge portions of delicious food. The service was very good despite how busy we could see the server was.
The only drawback is that the gift shop focused mainly on jewelry which was higher priced than I expected and looked tired. I wanted so badly to find something to take home but couldn't find anything.

liked the location & people
Pros:

Very comfy & friendly staff

Cons:

No elevator. We didnt know that there wasn’t an elevator & were traveling with a full car of stuff. Very disappointing to have to carry everything up the stairs. We are older adults and that was a challenge.
