Scene
Warm, family-friendly atmosphere with dated decor
The inn has a homey atmosphere with pleasant, if dated, decor that includes lots of wood furnishings; picture Oriental rugs paired with leather armchairs in the lobby, and formica-topped tables in the breakfast area. The indoor pool is cheerful and surrounded by tables and umbrellas. The pizza restaurant is also a little dated, with decor that includes antlers, a moose head, and a faux arbor, but it’s a pleasant, family-style throwback. Overall, this is a clean and well-kept property that attracts families and leisure travelers on a budget.
