Unprofessional. My friend and I checked in at 12pm. The terrible front desk girl with fake eyebrows called the restaurant across the parking lot that the hotel owners also own to ‘warn’ them we may come over….? We literally took a nap, went out and then ended up there hours later where they still questioned whether they should serve us. Weird…totally completely weird. My friend was animated at 12, but not at all drunk and somehow that required 2 grown adults to be questioned at 7pm the same night. Stay elsewhere where they don’t attempt to babysit grown adults.

We first did a staycation here about 4.5 years ago. We revisited on New Year’s Day 2026. Both times did not disappoint. This hotel looks and feels new. It is exceptionally clean. Daniela was super kind and a pleasure to work with. The kids loved the mitten shaped pool and loved the indoor/outdoor hot tub. The abundant snow added an interesting dynamic to the outdoor hot tub. Highly recommend for stays on the southeast side of GR
