What a fun hotel. We had a great room, great bed. We did not have a chance to use the pool or fire pits but plenty of guests were availing themselves and it looked fun. Courtyard has night lighting and there was a fab bar and also a hidden door speakeasy room.

10/10 Exceptional

I recently stayed at The Trail Hotel and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The location is amazing and served as the perfect base for my trip. My room was excellent, featuring a incredibly comfortable bed that ensured a great night's sleep. The hotel's amenities really stand out. The hot tub is large and perfect for relaxing, and I loved the outdoor setup with great places to sit around the fire pit in the evenings. The on-site bar and restaurant are also very nice with a great atmosphere. My only minor critique is that the service at the bar could use some improvement. The staff seemed understaffed during peak times, which led to some delays. However, the employees were doing their best, and the rest of the stay was so exceptional that it didn't ruin the experience. I still highly recommend this hotel and give it a well-deserved 5 stars!
