Rooms were well appointed & clean. Staff was pleasant & it had a great vibe. Hot tub & pool looked nice. It was chilly & raining but both were warm ( could have been a bit warmer for my wife ). Bar “in the parking lot” was delightful. Definitely do it again!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Dated, and only getting older. Shower handle was falling off and hard to operate. Beds were unstable and very very noisy. Only 2 towels in the room… pool towels are located where? The office was closed most of my stay. Furniture generally in horrible shape, stains and bad smells. Wasted space everywhere, room 103 is an example of a horrible layout. Could use a FULL overhaul of each room. The pool and hot tub are great, as are the grounds and character in general… but the rooms are becoming unusable and should not be rented.
