Breakfast options were absolutely HORRIBLE! They had hard boiled eggs with “toppings” (onions, shredded cheese, pickles, cottage cheese) then had dry cereal, toast, plain bagels, yogurt cups, and a variety (3 options) of different breads with the same toppings as the eggs. There was no waffles, no pancakes, no scrambled eggs, no breakfast meats nothing!!!!! Now to the rooms! DISGUSTING!!!! The house keeping staff is extremely lazy! The side of the bath tub was full of mold, the floors were not swept or moped, I found dirt & hair in my bed sheets, the bath tub plug would not work had to use a wash rag! Three of the lamps in the room did not work and they did not have any extra outlets on the walls around the room for electronics to be charged. The walls and rooms are small and thin! You can here a normal toned conversation in the room next to you, they allow pets as well and this has caused for others to deal with barking, whining, howling dogs next you when they should put animal family’s on one side of the hotel and non animal stays on the other. Parking lot is absolutely NOT favorable for trucks! We drive a F350, there was another F350 parked in front of the rooms and we had no parking left but two spots and had to try and park in front of the other truck and could not because it did not leave enough room for vehicles in between the two trucks to still drive through!!! Also a warning the fire pits they advertise are NOT gas you will have to have wood to use them!!

This hotel has a great upper deck to watch a sunrise or sunset on. The rooms are very outdated and need to be redone. The breakfast is a bit weird with chili or deviled eggs for breakfast. The coffee taste burnt. And the most frustrating part is the $10 charge on my room that I can’t get anybody at the front desk or customer service answer why there’s an extra $10 on my room Charge

The facility was decent , the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was very odd. Unusual choices, elk chili for breakfast? Hard boiled egg bar? Was not impressed, actually skipped it the second morning , wasn’t worth the effort, even though it was FREE.

Shepard was very accommodating for a welcome stay

Shepard, at the front desk, was fantastic, working extra hard with what seemed during a period with limited staff. His friendliness and willingness to go out of his way to make our stay great was very welcoming after a long journey. They hotel is quirky and a little bit of a maze, but it was definitely different with its 2nd story outdoor covered patio, and its arcade games/laundry area in what seems like an old bar setting. The room was large and clean, having all necessary amenities. We enjoyed the unique breakfast options as well. Big thanks to Shepard for making our stay great!
