"Superb service and a solar eclipse too!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
We stayed in order to enjoy time with our dog close to the 25th anniversary of our wedding as well as seeing a total eclipse of the sun for the first time. The entire staff, from manager Josh to Ken and his colleagues as well as the cleaning and food services crews, made our stay entirely enjoyable. We had such a good time that we're planning to make the six hour trip again later this year even without a solar eclipse to see! Thank you!
