So, first off, I slept well and the place was quiet. The staff was kind. The place looked great from the outside. It was also close to the downtown area, which was nice. Our room smelled. It smelled like smoke and smelled like old funk. To be fair, the staff did offer another room but we had already settled in and were very tired from a 12 hour drive. We stayed two nights and it always smelled. Also, it wasnt super clean. There were stains on some of the walls and ceilings. The bedding was clean. There are some chairs in our room that should be tossed. They're gross. We planned to swim as it was very hot but they said the pool was being repaired or renovated. It didnt say this when we booked the room and we should have been offered at least a discount or somthing for that but weren't. We were disappointed with that. The AC was good, though it smelled at first. The water pressure in the shower was good and the water nice and hot. Overall, it's not the worst place but it definitely could use a major remodel. But if they can't afford that, they should definitely take the time to deep clean their rooms. The previous hotel we stayed at was similarly old but it was so clean, it immediately made a great impression. Disappointed by the pool issue. You pay for the room and the amenities. It feels a bit like a bait and switch.

The staff were great for the most part (Cheryl was very grouchy, rude and short with us on the phone). The rooms walls were disgusting, the floors were not clean. The carpets haven’t been washed or shampooed in what smells like years. The phone was caked in what looked like grease and dirt. I went to change the liner in the trash can and it was covered in black mold. The price was way too high for what they have for rooms. Which is a shame. It can be a very nice place if they invested in it a bit more.

Hopeful thinking.

The hotel is situated in a beautify estate. All my friends and families love to stay here and also enjoy the breakfast. No so anymore, the restaurant is closed and the hotel room is dated. The toilet is filthy when we checked in. We call for the service. The service is not prompt, so we have clean up by ourself because we have to use it soon. I sure hope the management will do some improvement to get this beautiful place back to a desirable place to stay.

Fine if you want to be “unplugged.”

Our room was comfortable and the location was great but the Wi-fi was basically non-existent and, when we finally wanted to watch the Weather Channel, the TV didn’t work.

I have stayed at this property two times. The first time was in the hotel portion, which was clean and very nice. I get their staff five stars!!!! The second time I stayed I rented out a cabin. Sherena Has five star customer service and deserves a raise she is awesome and so helpful!!! The property is so beautiful and I love all the little walking trails. I really enjoyed the cabin for privacy reasons and it was very cozy and Homie. Looking forward to the new pool remodel. This will be a secret spot I go to for many years to come thank you so much Sherena for all your help!! ❤️

Bad service

When I was checked in I was assigned to & given a room key for one of their cabin rooms. I didn’t reserve this type of room, but when I questioned it the girl said it was correct. It was rainy and dark and when I first drove up, the porch light was off which made it difficult to navigate the path to the cabin as well as the porch and getting inside. I left my belongings in the front room and left for the event I was attending in Nevada City. At around 1am I returned to my room to find that my key didn’t work. I drove back to the office and was made to stand outside in the cold and rain while a different clerk tried to tell me that I wasn’t checked in to that cabin. Even tho I had the key with the number written on the key holder! Then I found out that the checked someone else into my cabin. When those people entered and saw my belongings, they went back and reported this. I didn’t receive a phone call or any communication letting me know about their error. And when I showed up I was made to feel like I was the one who made a mistake. But they let someone else in a room that had my belongings in it & I was mad. To top it all off, I reserved and paid for a room with a King bed…this cabin had a Queen. I’ve stayed at this hotel before with no issues, but I’m not sure if I’ll go back. There was no apology given by the night clerk and his attitude that I was somehow in the wrong was incredibly rude and insulting.

I arrived one hour and thirty minutes before the stated time i would be able to check in, and i entered thenoffice hreeted the clerk and asked if there would be a chance i coupd get checked in early. I was quickly met with the respincw that there would be a $25 dollar fee for an early check in. I understand policy but couldnt justify paying nearly a third the total price of the room for the night so that i could be in thenroom an hour earlier. The day was cold and wet since a storm had developed. I did not feel like standing outside in the cold winter rain and asked if it would be ok for me to sit in the lobby and wait out my hour until i could get checked in. Upon asking yhe clerk if i could find a seat in the lobbynto stay warm i was quickly met with the response "i dont think rhe manager would like that." As the disbelief of what she just said sank in. I looked around the easily 20 foot by 30 foot lobby to realize there were no seating arrangements even in the lobby. Lots of spots that could easily accommodate a chair or love seat, yet all i see are empty floors and clear walls. As i as i turned buttenening my jacked preparing to embrace the cold, I thought to myself how uninviting the lobby and staff came across to me. I just could not understand how odd and uncaring could this place be to have no seatsin the lobby for people to relax and then tell me I was not invited to stay in the lobby while I was trying to escape the inclement weather. It only got worse
