Quick family trip

This was a short getaway. The hotel was very quiet and the staff was super helpful and friendly. The pool area was very clean and quiet even though it's in town. The breakfast was good and the staff kept it well stocked.

First, let me say the staff was exceptional! Upon arriving, a woman at the front desk did an excellent job of explaining everything and showed a genuine friendliness doing so. When it was time to check out, I was again greeted with smiles and happiness, by a different person. It makes such a difference when you've just spent hours driving to be greeted in such a welcoming manner! The breakfast was great with a nice variety of options to choose from. I found everything to be clean and was surprised by two bottles of cold water in the room fridge. That's such a nice touch! My only negative would be the bed as it left me pretty sore in the morning. Otherwise, this was one of my favorite places to stay.

Weekend Getaway

The entrance was beautiful the room a little outdated. The carpet didnt appear to be vaccumed as there was small rubber bands and a artificial fingernail on the floor. The pool was nice, however it is small. Great location in regards to shopping and food locations. All really within walking distances

Overall stay was great and staff was great. Pool area could have been a little more cleaned up and organized but the pool itself was clean. Only negative was the site said there was a bar on the premises and there was not.

Fine but old

Everything was basically fine. The staff was nice and the rooms were clean and comfortable. But the hotel is definitely old and feels like it; the carpet in particular felt dirty and there was no AC in the hallway so it felt stuffy.

Requested a protraction when booking. Parts of it were missing when we got there. Staff tried to find them, even called GM, but after 3 hours, still couldn’t find. We improvised, but annoying. Shower curtain installed backwards, and torn all along the top. One bed had large divot on one side. Causing rolling to edge. Breakfast was cold (supposed hot food, cold).
