"Incredibly helpful front desk staff! The cabins were clean, simple, and well appointed. We stayed in the ADA room since one of us wasn’t able to climb into a regular bunk and it worked well for us. I was able to climb into the top bunk without issue. Clean sheets, functional outlets, nice common area. It was a small room, but not too small to fit us and our giant luggage. Serviceable restaurants on site if you don’t feel like venturing out. There was some loud construction across the street when we stayed, but not the hotels fault. Really good location! Front desk were super helpful and kind. Worth the price in my opinion."
