Very welcoming to pets - pet relief area outside and dog treats by the door. Great breakfast in the morning. The hot tub and saunas were a treat - you reserve a time for your party so you have private access. The room was very clean and cute. Not too far of a walk to the heart of town and park. Overall a great stay!

Stayed with my 5 year old daughter and we LOVED it! They have a fun little scavenger hunt around the Inn for the little ones and tons of board games and puzzles to play with the kids. The hot tub was clean and the view is great. Located close to the Adventure Park. The room was clean quiet and cozy. Would highly recommend for families.

The breakfast was above the average continental breakfast found at average hotels. This is clearly a pet friendly property based on the number of pet owners during my stay but never was there any evidence of pet nuisances to non pet owners. Beds were comfortable, rooms and other parts of hotel were clean. I did think the amenities in the room were minimal, and the availability of uses on the property like the saunas, gym or pool was limited.

Nice quiet place to relax. The backyard was nice to sit and drink coffee. It's an easy walk downtown. You can take the trail or main sidewalk. And it was so clean! Every corner of the room. Housekeeping does a wonderful job here. All the staff was wonderful
