The property was a bit old and tired. The lack of ac was a bit of a surprise. Fortunately it wasn’t too hot. And for the price that I paid for the room a complementary bottle of water might have been nice. Or a bathrobe or slippers.

I stayed here years ago and they made everyone feel at home. I couldn’t wait to bring my husband to experience the wonderful first time I had there. It was definitely a letdown. This time it felt very cold. If we wanted breakfast we had to pay or go somewhere. The “pastries” as they called them with the coffee did not seem fresh. They were muffins which is a bread not a pastry. The rooms definitely need decor updates. Some wallpaper was starting to peel. The old charm of the building is there, but freshen the poor old building up. It’s been 20 years since I was there and the wallpaper looks like it’s been there for 50. I love wallpaper, but give the building a little care and freshen it up.

They weren’t accommodating to checking in a bit early. Room was small and floor was slippery. There was no tv in the room. Muffins were not good. Many staff members were nice but management messed up when they send the housekeeping lovely lady in twice when we wanted the room. The pool was lovely. All in all -just ok

I was there on 5/25 to 5/26 and the weather was cool, but if you went in July when it is hot the original building does not have A/C. Also no TV in the original building.
