The bed was clean and comfortable and breakfast was good. All carpeting and upholstery was filthy. Paint was peeling off in big sheet over the bathtub. Tub and counter were stained or dirty. I did enjoy watching a deer grazing by a pond from the window. I won’t be staying there again.

Pictures are not what this actual hotel looks like. Pretty run down. We were on the first floor, people next to us were fighting all night and in and out of hotel. There's no way staff couldn't hear what was taking place. Even worse, they would go outside to smoke and was just outside our window. So the arguments continued, to the point our kids were scared. Do better, clean it up! Way to overpriced for the poor quality.

This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had with hotels! When we checked in they attempted to put us in a room right next to a room that was being painted, we got moved to a secondary room, due to excessive smell of paint fumes in the room, and it also smelled so much of paint fumes we got light headed and ended our reservation early. Their staff was so unhelpful during the whole process, They refused to refund me my money, and insisted on charging me a cleaning fee. For a room that we only pulled the sheets back on and noticed was dirty before we had even got there, super combative staff when it comes to their costumer services. I just counted my losses. But i would not recommend this place to anyone.
