Closed - Do Not Book
DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL!! It is closed, and according to shopkeepers nearby has been for some time. I had a confirmed, guaranteed reservation for the night of April 25, 2022 and went there to discover it wasn't open and was boarded up. I couldn't tell if it was closed permanently, temporarily, or perhaps in the process of an extended reservation. But they should be eliminated from taking reservations on Hotels.com

The property was closed upon arrival. We had to book a different hotel on the spot which cost us 3x the amount. Please credit my credit card asap! I have tried to reach out to someone since arriving to a closed hotel with no response!

After booking the hotel we arrived to find it closed for remodeling, and looked like it hadn't been open for months. Don't book it!

The hotel is closed for renovation but accepted my reservation. Nothing on Expedia even hints that the hotel is closed. We showed up with our bags in hand to check in and the hotel was boarded up.

I was looking forward to stay at this location, as I have seen the property when at its restaurant, however, the location has been closed for more than a year according to the locals. It is very disappointing to book a place and arrive and find out it is closed. My husband and I have to find accommodations. Please take this property out of your list. As i mentioned before we were not the first ones to have this horrible experience.
