Decent room for the price. Could have been cleaner. Very loud guests are night. My husband asked for a pillow (3 provided for a king bed)and the front desk never provided one, he had to track down housekeeping. They only provide one towel and washcloth and do not replace or refill toiletries. We had small used bottles left for us by previous guest. Full size fridge and microwave was nice.

I actually did NOT stay here. I ended up leaving that same evening. Something didn’t sit right. The room was filthy (water from sink was light brown, beds had stains on sheets, quilts on top had tears/burn holes, bathroom door does not close for privacy, ground was covered in dirt, found a piece of sharp metal on floor that could have cut your foot open, whole property looked like it was being personally renovated, drove around back for parking and it looked like I made a wrong turn somewhere & wasn’t welcome just by the looks of the people who jumped out of their car and stared me down.) I have tried to call hotel for my money back, emailed 3 times, wrote through hotels.com messages and still nothing. I have a blind dog (they were aware about) and they put me on the second floor (only stairs-no elevator) and I almost fell bringing him down when I left. Too many people coming and going at night too. Pictures online NOT the same as the actual property. False advertisement.

I like the room it was great. I book here because of it had a swimming pool (it was dirty and not even ready to be used. I wanted breakfast it did not have anything just coffee o hot water for tea. It look like it’s getting renovated because just some rooms were available. I hope when they finish it like the picture on the website.
