8.4/10 Very Good! (1,001 reviews)
Courteous staff and easy check in. Roomy cabin (14), but there was a distinct smell of burnt wood (from the fireplace). Location is ideal if you want to visit the nearby parks or trails.

The room/bathroom is clean and we were provided with sufficient toiletries, new towels, k-pods, bottled water, etc. Our only problem is the lump at the center of the King size bed.
