When we got there our air didn't work. So it was hot and muggy. But they replaced the whole unit and it was nice after. They were friendly and attentive. Parking was hard because not a lot of spaces. But not bad for the price.

We only stayed one night passing through town. The property is nice. The lobby was pretty with a large tree decorated for July 4th. The staff were all very friendly and got us checked in quickly. Our only complaint would be there was an odor in the room. It was tolerable so we did not request a room change. Most likely the rooms need to be updated with new carpet and ac unit as it was set at 64 but was not that cold. The AC ran loudly all night.

The rooms definitely need updating.

Lobby was beautiful and breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfast buffets I’ve had. That being said, the room we had wasn’t too great. The shower had some of the pinkish mold in the corners, there wasn’t even a shower curtain in there when we arrived we had to call for it, and the air in the room just felt muggy no matter what you put the a/c on. If it hadn’t been for the mugginess and the shower it would’ve been a better rating.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay. Everyone of the staff was polite, professional and welcoming. We never walked through the lobby without a friendly greeting. The hair dryer didnt work in our room, I stopped at the desk on our way out for the day. By the time we returned we had a new one installed. The breakfast was great. The nice lady handled the very busy room like a pro. We also utilized the pool and the entire family from 2 rooms had a great time. Thank you to all your staff. Im sure we will be back someday
