There were dead bugs in the room, dirty lamps and extremely dirty floor vents. They were broken as well. Two lamps had parts that were broken. The design of the room was terrible. I would never stay at this property again.

Loved having a private hot pool just down the road. I also liked that the room opened to the main street with a deck and to the back with easy walking access to the hot pool. I do wish they had coffee pots in the room so you could make a coffee to take down with your early morning soak!

Great overnight trip
This is a great hotel with plenty of different accommodations to service any size group. The hot spring pool was so nice! It was big enough to swim in and had a nice and easy incline to go from knee deep to shoulder deep. The room was nice and had plenty of space to store items. The bed was comfortable and the shower was big with great water pressure. The hotel is right in the middle of the main street.

We were stuck back in a little room at the back of the property. Little shack with 4 small rooms. There was very limited parking. The pool was dirty and small. The next door hotel had a group of people who had a yelling fight out in their parking lot.

Cute Tiny House stay
I stayed in a Tiny Home, which was very cute and had nice amenities. The wall air conditioner is in the living room, which didnt cool the bedroom. You need to partially close the bedroom doorto watch TV, which is a poor design. Check in was fabulouse with Aspen and the unit had a pretty view of the park and a nice front porch to relax on.

Great stop for a night
Overall, this was a good price for a decent place. Beds were comfy and bathroom was spacious. Some updates would easily put his place on 4-5 star turf...
