The Aqua Pacific Hotel
Nice soft bed. Room was clean and wufi was good. Adequate and convenient parking. Appreciated that they let me check in late (after midnight). Pool and hot tub looked nice, but not open in May because seasonal only? (June thru summer, I think)

Fern River Resort
The area was nice. The cabinets were a little old and they need renovation. We had a good time. Just be aware that the Cabin ms are a little bit outdated.
