"Clean, comfortable and the staff is very nice. Such a great experience!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
The hotel was very unique. Our hotel room ended up having a staircase in it and was two floors! The Grouse's Nest was awesome and had great food and drinks. The ballroom was exceptional! Definitely a great place to hold events.
