"Relaxing"

My review is and always will be this location is 10+. We do not stay in the biggest room but we stay in a location that is very relaxing and accommodate the three of us myself my husband and her fourth of a human being dog baby penny. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Verified Review, stayed from Thu May 21 to Sat May 23 2026 at a $350.49 average nightly rate.

"Mediocre and expensive."

I booked through Franciscan and was charged nearly $1900 for a three night stay, much more than was quoted when a friend inquired about rates at the front desk. The room is basic with little shelf space in the bathroom. The king mattress not comfortable, the breakfast spartan. Nothing to recommend.
