Comfortable Beds

The beds in our room were incredibly comfortable, providing the perfect support for a relaxing night's sleep after a long day of exploring. The bedding was soft and cozy, making it hard to get out of bed in the mornings.

Impressive Shower

I loved the shower pressure in the bathroom-it was fantastic! After a day of hiking, nothing felt better than a strong and warm shower washing away the day's adventures.

Cozy Balconies

Having a private balcony overlooking the creek was the highlight of our stay. It provided a charming spot to unwind, listen to the soothing sounds of water, and enjoy our morning coffee.

Great Entertainment

The room was equipped with a modern setup for entertainment, including plenty of power outlets and even USB ports by the bedside. We enjoyed binge-watching our favorite shows on the sleek TV before turning in for the night.

The location was perfect for accessing local attractions without getting stuck in traffic. While the amenities were generally good, I felt that the options for dining could use some improvement.
