5/5 Excellent
"It's a great property. Could use a little tlc such as wallpaper falling off and rust. Other then that spacious room and bathroom, comfy beds, great breakfast, and delicious cookies and milk available every night "
"We have made this place a yearly tradition since we discovered it. We like the location so much and we only have to drive for 30 minutes! However, our room was kind of dirty, but we can't blame the property because we assume there is a staffing shortage. "
