Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We reserved over two months ago and somehow ended up in room 101, right next to the office. It was a handicap accessible unit - which we did not ask for or need. The room had only one nightstand and the bathroom had no door! There was a door between the back half - the microwave and refrigerator and the bathroom, toilet, sink and shower were all in one area. Uncomfortable to say the least.

The first room we were in had toilet issues and an extremely loud fan noise in bathroom. It also had a strange odor. The next morning we talked to the desk who moved us to another room which was much better. The bathroom fan was quiet and there was no odor.

Disliked: Cleanliness
It was ok. Cleanliness wasn't great, hair in the shower and sink. Broken outlet cover and questionable outlet behind the bed. The check in time on the confirmation said 3:00 but the sign at the hotel said 4:00. When the employee came into the lobby I was able to check in due to my room being ready. Probably wouldnt stay there again.

This is an older property but the room was very large and back from the main road. Thus fairly quiet. Clean. Bed gold. Tv , internet and desk all fully functioning. Lots of outlets. Great water pressure in shower. Furniture old and worn. Staff were very helpful and informative. Overall excellent and good value

The swimming pool was just what was needed. Quiet, private, and, old growth roses are blooming and smell divine. I wasn’t sure where to get an appropriate swim towel, so I used the one from my room. An unexpected mallard flew in to share the pool with me. Loved it!

Disliked: Room comfort

No hot water!

The room was fine. However, the beds were both deeply sunken in with poor quality pillows, and the worse was the water situation. We never were able to take warm showers. The water was always freezing! The water in the sink also never warmed, of course, and sputtered if you tried to turn it warm/hot. We were there for 3 days and 2 nights without hot water. Miserable!

There was food and an innersole from a shoe under the bed. No hot water to take a shower. No shampoo or body wash in the dispensers in the shower. Terrible receptionist. I had bug bites on my arm which I suspect were bed bugs. We actually only stayed 1 night and checked out early the next morning.
