The room, grounds, pool, reception area were all clean, modern, well maintained. No complaints. This does have the look of a place that was once a lower quality motel, but was converted, modernized, and redone to appeal to a business crowd (vs a questionable clientele), so if you're looking for something more upscale, this may not be the one for you. We knew we'd be spending all our time visiting family, so it wasn't a big deal for us. We never used the pool or the (very nicely done) outdoor sitting area w/firepit) but it looked great. The evenings were very quiet - no loud music or people.

The staff was super friendly. The linens were nice and clean and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom floor was not clean and the room was not attended for 4 nights. The 1 gallon waste basket was really too small . The noise level was annoying as children were actually screaming for hours. They did get put away at 10pm but when you're in town for a horse show and have to get up at 5... As far as eco friendly, styrofoam plates and cups are not wise.
