It was very sad to see the conditions in the room. This used to be a very clean place to stay. We had to wipe down everything. Walls need cleaning every Spring and carpets should be cleaned. Hope the new owners can spruce it back up again.

Spacious, quiet, clean, comfortable beds. There was plenty of hot water for the whirlpool tub. The “fireplace“ produced plenty of heat. I would go here again!
