No one picked up when calling the front desk. When we arrived to check in no one was there. It took 5 mins before someone showed up to check in the line of 3 groups that had formed while we waited for someone.

Needed to use Internet for work and it kept going in and out. The TV did the same. Shower had missing caulk and was moldy. Bright light outside the window and the curtains did not keep it from illuminating the room at night.

This is a really cool hotel for this town. All the basic bones are great but without much traffic, felt like a low occupancy problem, things brake and are not replaced. Staff was very good but not a lot they can do except change rooms. ie; unable to drain sink, lever not connected to stopper / refig not cooling, nob broken. The TV was set up really odd, never was able to overcome that problem even with a room change.

Inside the hotel, the facilities were very nice: attractive lobby, airy dining room with a view to their courtyard, spacious guest rooms with plenty of bathroom counter space. One night (of three) there was a party in the room next door. After a couple of midnight visits to the front desk (because they took the phones out of the rooms), they moved us to another room. The included breakfast I would give a 'C': Cheddar omelettes, hash browns, and sausage were the hot choices. Not bad, until the third day in a row. But the server was great, in constant motion, and friendly but not overly so.
