the stay here was incredible! my most memorable aspect would’ve been their s’mores service, as that was something i’ve never experienced from a hotel before. my mother and i stayed here for two days, and we had the best experience here. the establishment is stocked with things to do, too! their game room was such a nice touch as well. overall, we really liked the aesthetic of this hotel! next time we’re in town, we’ll most definitely be staying here again!!
