Sorry I hate to complain but I’m mentioning these things so the hotel can improve. I did enjoy my stay overall and the staff was great. Great place to stay if you’re a couple or plan on using the amenities. I got sucked in by the low price and good reviews but once I arrived the cost rose significantly. $42 a day resort fee for what? Free coffee in the morning? Nobody uses the pool in December why are you charging an extra fee? Just include it in the nightly cost instead of charging on arrival. I’m so over hotels doing that bait and switch. Customers need to stop getting used to this and start voicing your displeasure in the practice. Make it optional or get rid of it all together. You’re not providing any extra service to justify $42 extra per night especially this time of year. Also my room faced the busy Main Street making the patio not useable due to how loud it was all day and night with cars driving by. The room itself though is extremely quiet from outside noise due to the double sliding doors they installed to block the noise from coming inside. Air conditioner in room 26 needs maintenance. It’s extremely loud while it’s running. And I’m not sure if you can do much about the floor being very squeaky as you walk near the bed but not really a big deal. My dog was over 40 pok

This was my 2nd time staying with you and it did not disappoint! I feel a world away from the hustle and troubles of real life, if only for a short time. We love having coffee at the pool and the signature scent is so lovely and comforting. I had to buy a candle to bring home and one for a friend too!
