Claudia Aug 31, 2025 04:09:02 AM
Summary: Stay was ok. Website indicated restaurant on site but falled to note opening hours (8am on Sunday, 11 am Monday - did not check other days). My mistake for not making sure room had microwave. Room was quiet, bed was comfortable. FYI no usb charging available.
Timothy Aug 22, 2025 07:19:23 PM
Summary: The room was comfortable and the location was perfect relative to my work and friends that I was visiting. The golf course deck was great for taking in the sunset and the Friday evening music was awesome!

Summary: Great front desk rep Donald is a pleasure to deal with
Veronica Jul 4, 2025 02:27:47 AM
Summary: Restaurant and bar was very nice plus front desk help was very accommodating
James Jun 28, 2025 12:10:32 PM
Summary: The pictures portrayed the property to be a resort. The room was very minimal. After hours the front desk is closed and a security officer is the one who checks you in and provides any services. I checked in around 10:30 PM. The television in my room was not getting the cable, the security officer came to my room to get it going. He did a great job and was very pleasant. The restaurant is a bar, serving bar food. I waited about 10 minutes for the bar tender/server to come in the bar from doing some task outside the bar. Some days of the week the front desk is not open until 11:00 AM or 11:30 AM. It’s a rustic lodge. Not at all a resort.
kathy Jun 17, 2025 09:16:09 AM
Summary: The front desk employee made check-in easy. On entering the property there are no clear signs directing you where to check in. The room was clean and comfortable.
