The photos on the internet do not match this hotel at all. We stayed here for an out of town hockey tournament and pulled up thinking we were going to a beautiful golf resort with super cute cottages. However, we found that the rooms we were given were nothing short of a budget motel and certainly not worth the $300 we paid for. This was a very disappointing stay.

The room was not as advertised like in booking photos. Roof needs to be replaced immediately for starters, shower smelt musky, shower floor creaky sounding like you would fall through the floor, jacuzzi tub when on released brown moldy flakes, baseboard heaters were hanging off, walls we unbelievably dusty, cracking ceiling and drywall, back porch covered in roofing flakes from deterioration, sliding screen door would barely open, room was above the that was said to be closed at 10pm but from 12am-2am multiple people could be heard. No front desk staff after 8pm overall extremely dissatisfied with the experience, was told management would call me and never heard back. Be aware before booking.

Not our favorite

Of all the places that we stayed, this was the least favorite. There was an odd smell that did not go away with airing out; the furnishings and room were very basic; and the heating and AC controls were very confusing and not well marked. The host was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was good. If someone was simply looking for a utilitarian place to sleep, this will work just fine.
