The rooms are very small, dated and not well taken care. We found left over garbage from previous guests. The room smelled and it was very dusty. It is not very well taken care of at all. The pool was freezing cold like jumping in a frozen lake in the middle of winter. The pool and hot tub were also very dirty. They definetly do not take care of them. The area behind the desk looked messy, unorganized and dirty. Overall it is just very run down and not taken care of. I would never stay here again.

Okay stay

Hotel is short staffed. Nobody at front desk. Later saw front desk employee watering flowers outside with no shirt. We called and left a message to ask for extra towels and shower mat. We were told to come down to desk and retrieve. Shower curtain does not cover all of shower so water gets all over the bathroom floor.

Perfection!

The pillows were perfect for me; they were puffy, but got thin to sleep on them! The bed was comfortable. It was super clean and quiet. I loved that you could pull the blinds over to one side from right to left so no sun could shine through; this was designed better than two drapes meeting in the middle concept where sun shines in regardless of what you do! Easy, free parking. It's near a Walmart and a Target is 3 miles away.

Room was musty/humid but clean. When we turned on the air to keep the room temp down it would squeek loudly making it difficult to sleep. Pool and hot tub was fine. Breakfast was the among the worst I have had in 20+ years of traveling. Check in staff was boarderline rude, morning staff could do nothing but make pathetic excuses. Only a few minutes away from a Cracker Barrel whos food was excellent.
