The staff was very nice -- the room had everything one would need for an overnight stay. The rooms are dated; however, the sheets were clean. My only issue is the microwave wasn't cleaned -- it looked as if someone spilled a red sauce inside and was dried and caked inside when we arrived.

Staff were excellent. They were pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was sufficient. Loved the fact that there was whole milk Pool water was not as clear as I would expect it to be I believe that there should be bars in the bathtubs for seniors to use getting in and out of the shower.

A modest and quiet location, a bit dated, but still a nice facility. Don’t expect anything more than coffee for breakfast, and then only in the lobby. Room had a small coffee maker but nothing to put in it. Breakfast area in lobby was vacant, apparently unused. Several very good dining options and shops just a couple of minute drive away. I'd stay here again if I was in the area.

This hotel is clearly experiencing financial difficulties. There were few guests and its remote location made me very uncomfortable. Staff reverted my room twice while “do not disturb ” sign was on the door. The desk clerk was very efficient and professional. Definitely one and done.

The staff were incredibly helpful and professional which we really appreciated. The price was great overall for our stay, so we’d rate the overall stay as a 3/5 stars only because the room wasn’t the most maintained and the other person I came with said the room consistently felt “wet” or almost humid, but we turned the AC down so it was fine. There are some spots we noticed that were off like a spot on the wall next to the bed, and two of the pillows. The parking had a bunch of availability, however a little bumpy on the road on the way in. We loved the local wildlife!

They are working on remodeling, so I'll give them some grace. Room was nice and clean. The young lady at the front desk was helpful & as sweet as can be. On the down side here was a very bright light outside by the window that kept me from sleeping well. The bathtub was old and gross and there was a creepy open vent in the bathroom that I didn't trust.
