It was an overnight stay bc we had to delay moving into our new home due to issues out of our control. I attempted to extend my stay and was told I would need to complete the entire check in process bc I paid through Expedia. Not the response I was hoping to hear. I also requested a late check out bc I was still trying to gain access to our home and was not at the property. I was denied a late check out which resulted in me having to leave the rental company so I could pick up my son. Very disappointing that they weren’t willing to accommodate me. Other than that, the property has a lot of charm and potential. It could definitely use a remodel. Also, there seems to be issues with the heating/ cooling system and there was only one bowl included in the dinnerware, in the event someone needed bowls.

Room was good, had one issue I will address at checkout. Staff was excellent, could not get into our first room. I returned to the desk, a new room was assigned. By th time I returned to the new room, your maintenance staff was addressing the issue with the 1st room. When we opened up our 2nd assigned room, last guests were smokers. Contacted the front desk, within 3 minutes the young person came with a 3rd room assignment and helped with our belongings.
