This place was somethin' else. I can definitely see how it might not be for everyone, but I for one loved it. Upon checking in the front desk staff appeared to be playing a game of patty-cake while sipping mugs of hot cocoa. They were super nice, incredibly helpful, seemed comfortable enough to casually swear, which I always appreciate, and they didn't at all seem put-off or incovenienced by having their game of patty-cake interupted. They even asked if I wanted to play! After a quick game of patty-cake, we checked into our room which was simple but fun. We had issues with parking which they were very quick to rectify and even gave us a voucher for free drinks from the conjoining bar. The place seemed to be in a constant state of partying. It was a bit loud at times but since we were primarily there to party ourselves the noise never bothered us too much and everyone was in generally high spirits. There were a few small quirks with the room, but again the awesome staff was quick to fix them. Our phone didn't work and the guy from the front desk replaced it right away, grabbing another phone from an empty room that he claimed was haunted and didn't like renting out to people anyways. The bar was great, the food terrific and the breakfast perfect for nursing our ungodly throbbing hangovers. I wouldn't recommend taking any children or mothers-in-law here on the weekends, but if you're looking for a good time you'll find it here- if you don't mind the occasional burnt-out light bulb or TV remote without batteries.
Pros: Fun, great bar, good staff, unique.
Cons: Sometimes loud, rooms need a little TLC
