I cannot believe the reviews on this property. On the positive side, the sheets were clean and in good condition. The water pressure was good. The staff was friendly. On the not so good side.. This is an extremely dated property. The a/c was an extremely noisy window unit. The outdoor carpet on the walks outside the room is torn and dirty.

The inside of our room was simple, but very nice. Probably remodeled recently. The steps up to the 2nd floor and the walk-way has old carpeting on it with pieces sticking up - trip hazards. Pool had thick, green water and hot tub not working at all. Pool unsafe to swim in. Breakfast was continental, and food was good.

The room was clean and nice. I’m disappointed because I reached out about adding an additional night, they didn’t have availability which was fine. I asked for a late checkout and was told yes via email. When I checked in they said 11:30 was best they could do. But then our keys were turned off at 10. Disappointed in the communication.
