Basic room. Had all the necessities. Staff was great; very friendly and helpful. My kids loved the pool. Nice touch that there were pool floaties. The location was perfect. Walking distance to water rafting company and many dining options in the area made this an ideal place.

This was the 3rd time I've stayed at this location. I stay there because of the location. It's convenient and walking distance to everything in this small town. It's right next door to the local Brewery which had an event I attended. But, as in the past, the air conditioning didn't work properly. The cable TV didn't work properly. I ended up just leaving it off. The WIFI worked but was really slow. Last time I will stay there.
