It was ok. With the pictures I thought that a suite was a private cabin, but it is just a regular room with shared walls. It was fine, definitely on the rustic side, but it was on the charming side. I think I would try another place next time though.

It is similar to a camping cabin. It is not a hotel. There is no front desk help.

It was okay. It was cheap, and I got what I paid for. The lone staff member whom should have been at the front desk for my check in was at wal mart. He left his number taped to the desk and was able to provide the code for room entry at least when I called him. That’s a first for me. Also the front desk office area wreaked of pot. Not a big deal to me, but frankly extremely unprofessional. Just smoke a bowl out back buddy. The AC was too small and had trouble cooling the room, the room was clean though, and aside from that it was fine. It was a $250 room, but on a very busy weekend, and it was the cheapest thing around. It was worth no more than $100 on a typical weekend though.

Bed was incredibly uncomfortable. Walls were paper thin so you could hear every conversation and action next door. No AC. Bare minimum furnishings. No side tables in the bedroom. No screen on the bathroom window looked out onto an alley. Stick on decorative frostings on the windows that weren’t fully stuck. No shades. Shower door was from 1956. The pool was filled with mud. Not a great experience at all and certainly not worth the money. The coffee was good at least.

Great location and clean room. The only issue was the walls were paper thin. We could hear everything our neighbors said and were kept up all night our first night.
