Great environment, beautiful views and friendly staff. We had a problem with the fireplace, within minutes they had sent someone to fix it. Also the lock on the door into the room was not functioning, again they sent maintenance to fix it within minutes! Other than those couple little things, it was a great time! The room was great and I would recommend this place to many of my friends!

8/10 Very good

The sink drained slow and I felt water spraying my legs by sink and realized the sink had cracks in the sink bowl underneath and that’s why I kept getting wet. I miss when Dutch & Irma owned it, it felt more family friendly and it feels more business run now. I also miss the family fun pack that Dutch and Irma had so prices were more affordable to families

Craguns has been around for a long time. The buildings are outdated but clean and well maintained. All staff, both front desk and in the restaurants were great. Very friendly and helpful.

We were on a top floor with twin one year olds. No elevators. Hard to get up steps. Could not use stroller. Hard to find parking near our room at times. Room was very nice and view was fantastic.
