Would stay again

While the overall stay was great, the room was not ready by 4, I was not able to add late check out on, and I wanted to reserve another night they did not seem to want to deal with it at the front desk so we decided to leave at regular check out time.

The staff was awesome. Checkin was a little rushed. He was on the phone when working with us and never got my Rewards number entered. I cleared that up the next day. House Keeping did not refill coffee or bring new cups/glasses to use. I tried to get some from the cleaning person but they did not speak English. But we always enjoy it here.

I found a total lack of service and willingness to help to be the rule rather than the exception through out the property. The restaurant servers were excellent and are the only reason to visit this property.

The property was very easy to get to and close to our daughter . The cleaning staff was not friendly not even a Hi or good morning 😞. The refrigerator was not cooling and it was an important part of this trip ….my husband is a diabetic and needs to keep his insulin cold . When calling down to the desk and reporting this …it took them at least 3 hours to get it resolved . That set our first night there with aggression.

I had a stain on my floor and my room had an odor. The buildings where the rooms were just smelled old and not pleasurable. There are ducks that walk around and use the bathroom everywhere, and although i believe in nature. I also believe that the facility could hire someone to pick up feces. The staff were just OK. At upon arrival the staff did try to get my room situation handled promptly. I was told by Expedia that i would have free breakfast and i was charged. At checkout there was no urgency with dealing with that matter. They didnt seem bothered. I needed to use the ATM, and i was asked if i could wait because there was a wedding. I feel like all the urgency went to the wedding and screw everyone else. All in all, the stay was average. Breakfast was cold. I enjoyed the fruit and my tea that i purchased myself. The waiter was nice. He went above and beyond for me.
Clearly the ducks own this place

Amazing

It is a beautiful hotel and grounds. We felt safe and it had a great central location. I would highly recommend. Our only issue was room service availability ending at 9pm because that’s when the restaurant closes. We did Uber eats but had to pick up the food at the front desk during torrential rain. That was out of everyone’s control. Overall everything was fantastic.

Extremely beautiful property, friendly staff from the receptionist to the house cleaners, location is prefect as it is so near to so many stores, and the beds are so comfortable!! This was our second time staying here. If you are a cyclist, you’ll have so many routes to bike right from the property.
