Hot tub and restaurant are In affiliated hotel across the parking lot. There is no air conditioning available and it is not advisable to leave your patio door open while you sleep because all the patios are linked. You could walk from one side of the building to the other right through every room’s patio. Staff were great.

This place is a bog-standard motel, sold at luxury lodge prices. (I don't know where the photo in this listing came from -- all I ever saw was a parking lot. The driveway was occupied during my entire stay by a large tour bus.) The furnishings were adequate and the bed comfortable. But the soundproofing is poor -- I was awakened at 2:30 am by people talking loudly in another room, and then again at 4:30 am by people talking loudly and slamming doors in the parking lot. I haven't had such a miserable noise experience in years.
