Would stay again

Staff was very nice. It was very clean. No fridge, so that was too bad, but there was coffee. Breakfast had several choices but no low carb options. Overall though, it was a good choice

When we checked in, and my sister went into her room, a whole window pane fell on her, when we reported it to the front desk, they had somebody look at it, and he denied that it happened, but said he fixed the window. When I checked into my room, there were dead bugs in the corner of the bathroom and on the windowsill as well as stains everywhere and a leaky faucet that kept us up all night. The towels hung up in the bathroom were stained and dirty. The shower had pink mold all over the bottom of the shower curtain and inside the tub. The smell in the room was horrendous. Every single time the air conditioner would kick on it would smell really bad like mildew or mold or something. I would never stay here. We ended up leaving early before our booking ended and went and stayed at the La Quinta.

Free breakfast had rotting fruit, tastless coffee and nothing nutritious (maybe cheerios) Tangled up hose in front of my room door , dirty outline of what once may have been a door mat, dead plants all over grounds. Hope the owners are OK?

Even though i checked in at 1:00, i was told that the groundfloor pet room I'd reserved was not available. I agreed to take the "reserve" room, undesirable because it was next to the highway. I didnt mind the traffic noise, but the room wasnt clean and smelled bad, and the floor had bits of trash on it. ,,

The only problem we had is they say, on Expedia, that there is a laundry but there is NOT! That's the main reason we picked it. If we had known it didn't have one we would have chosen a different place.

The room was old and dark with only one table lamp to light the space. The bed was uncomfortable. However, on a positive note it was very clean.
