A couple of the reviews mention the lovely "fire pit," which seems to be something the hotel wants to advertise.

Oh, and all of the reviewers joined Trip Advisor on March 19, the day their reviews appeared! The overwhelming likelihood is that these posts were placed by the owner, who by the way was not able to find ANYTHING he disliked about the hotel.

I'm still trying to locate the hotel. Found one that matches the initials, but as I don't see the referenced 3/19/08 posts am wondering if I have ID'd the hotel correctly? Are the 3/19/08 posts still there?

ETA: Cancel the above question. I was looking at the posts for another hotel (motto: confused as usual ) but finally found what appears to be the relevant one.
