Wonderful Hotel Stay

great choicesrelaxing experiencebad mattress
I liked the location because it was a short walk to downtown. The breakfast buffet had lots of great choices and I found the common area cozy. I really liked the outdoor firepit and hot tubs. They provided a relaxing experience. I would love to return to this hotel!
The mattress in my room wasn't up to par. The springs were poking out. I did inform the front desk the next day, but it was a small problem during an otherwise nice trip.

delicious breakfastcozy firepitcomplimentary s'mores
The breakfast included really met expectations. The outside area includes hot tubs and a firepit, I really enjoyed that space. The free s'mores bar was an unexpected perk, it was so romantic. Though it was only available in the afternoon.
The gym had limited equipment. The hotel room I stayed in had no view to the nature.

Average stay, some issues noticed

dirty floorfaulty coffee machine
The room wasn't cleaned well, not even once during my three night stay. I saw hair on the bathroom floor each day. there was no kettle in the room, just a coffee machine, it didn't work well if I wanted to make tea. This was my worst choice after touring for three weeks.
