My stay at this hotel was overall disappointing. While the view from the room was beautiful and the desk clerk was helpful, the property itself felt very outdated and lacked cleanliness. The staff seemed unprofessional and I didn't feel like the experience was worth the price we paid. If only there had been better management and attention to detail, it could have been a much better stay.

Our stay at this hotel was quite a mixed bag. On one hand, the views were lovely, and having a fridge and microwave in the room was a nice convenience. However, the overall condition of the hotel left much to be desired, with musty smells and poorly maintained amenities. Overall, it felt like a place that could benefit from some serious TLC.

The room had a very musty smell, and the shower curtain was mildewed. While the beds were comfortable enough, the sheets kept coming off, which was frustrating. Despite these issues, having a fridge and microwave was handy.

Our stay at this hotel started out frustrating with a lack of customer service and unclean rooms, but it had some redeeming qualities like beautiful wildlife views and an enjoyable hot tub. The overall cleanliness and noise levels were a big letdown, impacting our experience. Despite these issues, the owner was friendly, and the breakfast was plentiful, making it somewhat worthwhile for the price. However, I wouldn't recommend it for families or those seeking a peaceful stay.

I recently stayed at this hotel and, unfortunately, it was not a pleasant experience. While the price was affordable, the overall cleanliness and condition of the rooms left much to be desired. Additionally, the breakfast options were quite limited, making it a less than ideal choice for my family. On the plus side, the view was lovely, which was a nice touch amidst the disappointments.

I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this hotel. The location is convenient, but the rooms were in terrible condition, with an overwhelming smell and outdated amenities. Service was frustratingly slow as well, which didn't help the overall experience. The breakfast was not appetizing, and I left feeling quite unsatisfied with my stay.
