Delicious Ribeye!

I enjoyed an amazing Ribeye at the hotel restaurant. The flavors were rich and the portion was perfect. Quite a treat after a long day!

The hotel has a quaint charm and is situated in the beautiful Ferndale area, perfect for a quiet getaway. The rooms are clean and comfortable, making for a restful stay. However, the dining options were disappointing, particularly for families, as they weren't very accommodating for kids. The pool facilities didn't offer enough time for a swim, which was a letdown for us.

While the hotel has some appealing modern amenities and a cozy atmosphere, my recent stay revealed several inconsistencies. The room was spacious and comfortable, which was great, but the cleanliness left something to be desired. Dining options were quite frustrating due to limited availability and subpar quality during my visit. I appreciated the proximity to the beach and local attractions, but improvements in service and restaurant offerings are definitely needed for a better experience.

My family and I had a fantastic time at this hotel, with spacious and clean rooms that offered stunning views of the Eel River Valley. The staff was incredibly accommodating throughout our stay, and we enjoyed some great meals in the on-site restaurant. However, the cleaning could have been more thorough, and I noticed some areas that needed attention. Overall, it's a wonderful resort to visit with the family and we plan to come back soon.

This hotel is modern and stylish, with comfortable rooms and a nice ambiance. The indoor pool was a huge draw for my family, but we were disappointed by the limited hours for family swimming. While the room was clean and well-appointed, we encountered some cleanliness issues and a lack of dining options for families. Overall, it felt less family-friendly than we had hoped.
