Nice to stay in a hotel where the in-room appliances (a/c, refrigerator) are actually QUIET, the alarm clocks dim well, the blackout curtain actually was dark, and the shower worked great! This made up for the fact that the chlorine smell coming from the indoor pool was pretty strong in the lower floors and stairs.

Was surprised at check in when the first thing I was told there would be no housekeeping services. After that statement, I probably should not have been surprised by the condition of the room. The shower was not clean; hair stuck to the walls, soap built up on the tub, sinks dirty. I don’t know what was on the carpet but it turned the bottom of my feet dirty brown so I ended up wearing shoes the entire time. The breakfast was ok. There was only one clean plate when we arrived. We asked for another clean plate and a lady working said she would get some, we waited a few minutes but she didn’t return. I wondered back to the service area to find someone who worked there and asked again for more plates and to let them know the waffle batter was all gone. A few minutes later an older woman brought out 3 plates to the now 7 people waiting. She proceeded to also bring out a small bowl of eggs and mouth a string of expletives about the mess that was made on the counter. She then went to the overflowing stack of dirty dishes and picked a few dirty plates out and took them to the back, I’m assuming she washed them because she then brought them back out to the folks who were still waiting for plates. The entire situation was uncomfortable.

Carpet was damp & smelled terrible. We had two dogs, so the room quickly turned to a wet dog smell. I asked for a box fan to help move some air & was instead given a carpet fan. We were offered another trim but didn’t have time during our stay to switch.

Even though the property is slightly dated (by appearance, and not totally sound-proofed), I highly recommend this hotel because the staff is super helpful & friendly, they serve fresh cookies every afternoon, the property is very well maintained, and most importantly our room & bathroom are both super clean! I will definitely stay there again in the future.

Great location and quiet for families. The staff were friendly, and the pool was exceptionally clean. The double queen rooms were sold out and we had to use the pull-out for my 10-year-old daughter. The mattress was so bad in the pull-out that it was unusable. The springs in the mattress were painful and the bars in the sofa itself came right through, which makes this dangerous. The staff did give us an extra blanket to cover but we had to remove our king-size quilt from our bed and fold it 3x to make the pull-out usable. If you plan to use the pull-out, I suggest bringing a sleeping bag or booking the double queen room. The king bed itself was comfortable.

Our stay was so nice thanks to an excellent manager named Jasmine Johnson! She was so understanding with me with a bit of confusion and my error with scheduling the dates wrong. I was stressed out and worried about my husband putting me down for it. When he walked up to the counter, she helped me and help me handle it all and very discreetly. It's all worked out and she was so comforting to deal with. Thank you Jasmine and it was a great stay too!

I'm comfortable with cell phones and computers and didn't mind the confirmation coming through on my Email I didn't like talking to a computer...sorry but AI is not for me. However, I would stay again!!!!! Becky L.
