Cascades Inn

8/10 Good
"This hotel is great for the price. It is quiet, clean, and priced well. The staff is friendly. We previously staying during the winter, but as spring arrives the property landscaping is a little overgrown. he courtyard is lovely, and the breakfast is simple but adequate. The finishes are typical for a budget-friendly hotel, but it does appear that they are trying to update as needed. The beds are comfortable. We will be back! "
