We stayed over Halloween weekend and were impressed. We didn't know what to expect from some of the reviews, but we were happy. The room was comfortable and clean. I liked the barn door idea, however, not very practical for privacy. All of the staff were kind and welcoming; breakfast was a pleasant surprise with plenty of options. We will be back.
