Beautiful property Super friendly staff Breakfast was a bit bland for $20 but it was off season with very few people so it’s understandable We forgot an item in the room - staff was super friendly and prompt in getting item from room to front desk for pick up
Johanna, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was large, updated, and comfortable. My only issue was some hotel employee was in the room directly across from mine and the one next to me making loud banging noises beginning at 8am on a Sunday while I tried to sleep. I noticed he had moved a bed into the hallway. Not sure why but when I went downstairs to complain, the women at the front desk was in disbelief but did nothing to investigate nor stop the worker from continuing. After 30 minutes of not being able to sleep, I decided to just get up and leave and drive home early.
Howard, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The heater in the room was malfunctioning. We had to have the maintenance guy visit twice. And it was still noisy. Their suggestion of moving to a different room at midnight was not acceptable. They were supposed to contact you for a refund and we haven't heard a thing. I would like this issue addressed. Thank you.

6/10 Good

Room was only cleaned after first night. Both subsequent days, the bed wasn’t made, the coffee mugs and water glasses weren’t cleaned/replaced, but they did give me fresh towels each day.
