We enjoyed the setting of the property and the historic feel and decor of the motor lodge. The grounds were beautiful and the location was convenient to family we were visiting in the area. However, the room had a musty smell as if it had not been used in some time, and I think there were issues with the humidity in the room. We took our bathroom towels into the main room and spread them on chairs to dry, but they never got fully dry. Humidity may have been the reason for the odor as well. Additionally, while the free coffee and bakery items were appreciated, the long lines at the counter, which included guests as well as members of the public purchasing items, made the bakery staff seem very stressed. It would be nice if the complimentary items for guests could be set out in a different area of the inn, not requiring a line, or just moving to an in-room coffee option. I would not expect an included breakfast at a historic inn and would have been satisfied with just in-room coffee if that had been available.

Will never understand any condition, stay here again. I will make it clear that the lovely women at check in are NOT the reason for this negative review. The women were helpful, friendly and very efficient. This place does not have proper signage and he couldn’t figure out what building was check in. We went into one and saw a front desk that said to call for assistance. I was reaching for the phone when a woman appeared. She was very hostile and did not want to help. She asked me why I was touching the phone. Before I could say it was to call for assistance she asked if we were even staying in this house. My mum who was with me said we were looking for check in and registration. She told us thats in a different building. We asked how we know which one, at this point she was walking away back turned to us telling us to ‘follow the signs’ Eventually we checked in and made it to our room. The room should never have been rented. It was so insanely musty, wet and I’m sure moldy. It was so wet and humid when you lay down on the beds you can feel how wet they are. It took us 4 attempts to figure the ac as it kept turning back onto heat. It was so hot and smelly we got Febreze to try and sleep. The toilet was also gross. Seat so chipped and stained I thought it has particles stuck on but its just the paint and wood of it all chipped away. Friends stayed in another room, their room was no better. We talked to 2 other guests and their rooms are exactly the same. Toilet was also super
