Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hotel itself and the room were very quaint. I am simply not used to staying at a hotel where doors are locked and when company arrives for a visit they get stopped and questioned. I am not saying this is a bad policy for the hotel to have. Again, I am merely not use to this. When I go away, I want it to feel seamless for myself and my guests who are visiting and not to feel somewhat like that of an interrogation. Had it not been for this, 5 stars would have been given.

Stayed 4 nights. Same continental breakfast every morning. Rooms are clean and grounds well kept. Lots of deer sightings. A little annoyed they wanted extra $ to extend our check out for 1 hour … especially after staying 4 nights. Too bad!

Breakfast was great. Flooring in room was poor and we were told that the 2 person tub wasn’t to be used after 10:30 pm? Stayed here the night of our wedding , used the tub anyway. Bed was extremely hard.

The room with 2 queen beds was nice. The AC unit was loud. The beds were hard and uncomfortable. The twin bed was in an alcove outside the bedroom- by the entrance door, the bathroom and the fridge. It was clean, but a hard mattress. It rained one night and water from the roof fell just outside the window onto the metal roof. Very loud, hard to sleep in the alcove. Thankfully it only rained one night.
