Room was filthy! A piece of advice…don’t lift the toilet seat in your room, for you’ll lose your appetite for the next 48 hours.

I didn’t like that designated smoking area’s were like being pushed way off the premises, if you’re outside by a ashtray it shouldn’t matter where you smoke, the property is very nice and I will return they should have complimentary breakfast though

Cheryl

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was disappointing. The rooms were dated, spartan and felt like a budget hotel. There was mold in the shower and the bedding was just a top sheet and light blanket. To top it off, after checking in we were informed that the dining facilities, the lobby and other areas of the hotel would be closed for renovation starting the next day. We had to navigate demo sites, temporary walls, and construction crews to get in and out of the hotel and the pool area during our stay. The biggest inconvenience was having to walk 10 minutes to a restaurant for breakfast rain or shine. Not a relaxing start to the day. We should have been notified of the reno when we booked to give us an opportunity to cancel. The management should have been been better prepared overall with better customer service and communication.

The property was great. It was close to everything restaurants and the village Square. I wish I would’ve gotten a room with a view. We enjoyed the pool and we enjoyed the bar. The restaurant is going to be renovated The only issue we had was the dog barking on the floor, nonstop.
