8/10 Good
"The room was clean and pretty good breakfast but the front desk staff didn't seem to want to work there. Got 3 towels for 4 people the day before we checked out and used a couple at the pool because there were no towels available at the pool. I went to the front desk to request a couple extra towels before we checked out the next morning (housekeeping had not come by yet) and the person at the front desk called housekeeping and they told them they had come by our room that morning, which was impossible considering we had been in the room the whole morning. Seemed like they didn't want to just provide the towels as requested and acted like I was lying about housekeeping coming by with towels. I would rather stay at a hotel where I don't need to argue about towels. Otherwise the stay was good. Saw a couple bears near the laundry area late one night."
