The staff was great and breakfast was better than most! Unfortunately, the property is “off the beaten path”, sort of behind a huge abandoned big box store. The surrounding area was overgrown. My husband had no issue with the location; however, it felt a bit sketchy to me.

Confusing wi-fi

We had a great stay. The staff was awesome, room was great, very clean, comfy beds, etc. The only issue was wi-fi. Hotels.com lists free wi-fi, but when we tried to access it(not HH members), we were shown a disclaimer that we 'may' incur a fee, but no mention of what that fee would cost. Needless to say, we chose not to connect our devices.
