50th wedding anniversary trip
Loved the atmosphere/ambiance of the hotel and pub. We would stay again if in the area. The room was very clean and updated. The two downsides are the furniture in the room was stiff/uncomfortable and the elevator made me a little nervous with knocking noises. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. O'Dowd's pub being attached was very convenient, with good food and drink.

We always stay here!
We had a great stay here! It is a fun hotel with lots of charm. Its in a great location, too. The fireplace is a nice touch. Breakfast was pretty good with good choices. The bed and chair in the room were a bit hard, but not worth losing a star over. Free coffee, tea, and water all day. Access to hiking is nice or a deck tonrelax on in the evening.

I was a little disappointed after reading the reviews before I booked the room. I reserved a one bedroom suite and when we checked in I wasn’t given that room and hotel wouldn’t let us change rooms. They said I would have to get in touch with Expedia to try to get the room I reserved. Never happened. The rooms could be updated. The food in the restaurant was nothing special.

Beautiful place
I wanted to stay here because being part Irish, I thought it would be perfect! The inn was beautiful! It had a gorgeous library, and lobby. The rooms are very spacious and clean. My daughter loved the pool! The only downside was the hot tub was down. The on-site pub, Frank O'Dowds, looks like an ol Irish pub!! Plus, there is a nice trail behind the inn.
