Beds were not comfortable, too soft. And the pillows were terrible, one super firm and one felt like 1/2 the feathers were gone. Area around was fine but staff was not welcoming at check-in.

The property was excellent in every way. However, the charge was $20 more than the Expedia rate. When questioned, the desk clerk indicated that the extra was due to Expedia, so the rate was the full rate of the hotel. Very disappointed.

The „Welcome“ was not a welcome at all. Very rude stuff. Indoor Pool was „out of order“. Only after we asked for the pool they put a sign out. TV program was very limited. All these topics with a 4 year old girl is hard to accept. Probably never again even we know that the people Up North are a bit more „rough“ but this was a No No.
