Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We got to the room and the bedding on both beds were dirty. There were streaks on the toilet- DISGUSTING! The hot tub was extremely dirty, it made us all itch and we had to immediately take showers. Will not be returning.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The whole property is very ran down. But still was clean, good service and everything worked. Just everything looks so worn and needs a fresh coat from stains on carpets in hallway, room and lobby to swimming area had stained floors, water leaks and stains on walls and chairs falling apart. Made me feel uncomfortable especially traveling with kids.

The staff was very nice and responsive. When we drove in the parking lot there was a tornado warning. They got us inside and to the basement right away! Breakfast was great too! Lots of options but the biscuits and gravy were the best!

A Little Let Down

It was okay. The room was a sad, worn out version of the one displayed on their website. The sleeper sofa was in desperate need of a re-stuff and reupholstering. There were MANY stains on the carpeting in the room. The bathroom was fairly clean, but there were multiple hairs attached to some of the towels. We had also requested a room away from other guests, and did not receive that request fulfilled. It was a little disappointing in quality considering the price I paid.
