Excellent stay. Clean room, heater works well, water runs hot, quality tv with many channels. Pool and hot tub was great, staff was friendly, check in was quick and easy.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Hotel was okay but pretty old. Musty, heavy perfume smell, enough to have to change rooms. Rooms were okay, check in staff was great. Didn't use any amenities, so can't speak to those. Biggest problem was the lighting. It was so poor over the mirror, putting on makeup or anything else needing a reflection was poor. Couldn't see anything. Pretty major for a woman getting ready for an event.

There was trash left behind from the previous guest. I saw multiple types of bugs in the room. The room smelled. There were no restaurants on the premises as stated. The room was dusty. The towels were small and thread bear. $150.00 deposit. Horrible experience. Confederate flags everywhere!
