Family-Friendly Highlights
The hotel's two outdoor pools and water slide give children an on-site activity, and the shallow end suits younger swimmers. The hotel also has a terrace, outdoor fire pits, and a cornhole board. Guests have reported black bear sightings on the property, so keeping food in the room and car windows rolled up is recommended.

“The recent remodels are evident, with large, clean rooms, some featuring balconies that open to surprisingly pleasant outside sitting areas. Being just a block from Main Street means everything is easily walkable, and the added bonus of an exterior fire pit fosters a genuine sense of community. It's a place where comfort meets true convenience, making a return trip quite appealing.”
