NOISE, even the property was off the beaten path the people inside didn't care about being quiet and respectfull ot orher guest. The windiws inside of theroom weren't covered so all of the light from the parking lot kept us up all night. No clocks and limited staff. Had to find the cleaning staff member to check us out .the babbleing brook out side was about 130 decibles . Still have an echo in my head from the sound of the stream behind hotel. Won't be going back

Looking off our patio there’s a creek that is very nice. Listening to the water going over the rocks is very relaxing

Took a mini vacation with my sister. We loved the balcony overlooking the beautiful creek behind the hotel. The staff was very helpful and friendly throughout our visit.
