10/10 Excellent
"This is definitely an older property but for the most part well kept. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was fun to take the kayaks out. The only negative was that fishing off the docks was discouraged even though the actual fishing dock was underwater due to the river being too high due to earlier rains. All in all we had a very pleasant stay here. It was easy to get from here to everywhere we wanted to go."

"Was there for a business trip. 2 nights, 3 rooms. Check in was easy, breakfast was fine. Rooms were clean. Hot tub and pool were good. The hot tub was hot, the jets were strong, and it was clean. The 2nd night, the hot tub was tepid, so we alerted the staff. Evidently, a breaker had flipped, but they fixed it and the issue was fixed within the hour."

"The facility is a little rundown. Some efforts of repair were underway. But if you don't mind that, it is perfectly reasonable. Room was clean, bed and pillows were comfortable. TV and channels or better than I expected, bathroom was clean. There was coffee but no coffee maker. There was an ironing board but no iron. But if you can overlook some of these items, the price was very reasonable for the area."
