    I know it was weekend before eclipse but here were some things I didn’t like: 1) when booking, was told there would be breakfast at check-in was told restaurant would not be opened for breakfast or lunch (but they gave meal vouchers?!?!) this was a big disappointment because I had guests who stayed and didn’t have a car so they had to either walk or wait for pickup to get breakfast. 2) the heater broke and had to be fixed. The repair man was nice and worked hard resolving the issue. Outside of first night scare and inconvenience, it worked rest of trip

    I visited property before committing and thought it was a very nice hotel with a different vibe than main chain hotels.

    The shower’s temperature is bad. You set the temperature of the water you want for your shower and it’s like someone randomly flushed a toilet somewhere in the building and you get scolding hot water at random intervals of your shower. My husband and I both experienced it. We aren’t happy and someone with delicate skin will get hurt. The rest of the stay is wonderful.

    I had to check out within an hour of checking in. There was a black, long hair on the bathroom counter, which prompted me to check the rest of the room. The mattress didn't quite fit the frame. Along the headboard was a thick, filthy / dusty bunch of "gunk" (like the room had not been dusted in a long time). The place is really, really old. Not a big deal if the rooms were clean and the cost was maybe 1/3 of what they charged me. Room photos are misleading. If you're used to staying at a big chain hotel, this is not for you. If you don't mind a motel vibe / old inn, you'll probably be okay with this place (if your room is clean). On a positive note, the staff was really nice. The guy at check in even carried my suitcase up the stairs since they didn't have an elevator. When I returned to the desk after an hour, a new person at the front desk was really kind about it and worked on canceling my reservation.

    Staff very friendly on weekdays, but weekends were a different story. Only 1 person manning the front desk while also having to keep the breakfast bar stocked. The increase in room rates for weekends was totally uncalled for as the service decreased in value.

    The breakfast was mediocre when all items were available. Had to get there very early or half the items were gone by 7:00 AM. Room was clean and fairly comfortable. Beds were so-so, could use newer style mattresses.

    cold night and heating was noisy so couldn’t leave it on. bedding was thin and so I was cold in the night. No breakfast served here either just a token gesture of bagels which to me is just laziness. I took a bagel it was stale. It wouldn’t have been much work to put on a continental breakfast of juices, cereals, bread etc

    located where I needed to be. evening meal was very good

    Despite paying for the King Deluxe Room and the $80 dog fee, we had to go to a dog friendly room. It was grungy, and the floors weren't clean. The rooms upstairs seemed significantly nicer and in better condition than the ones downstairs, where people with pets have to stay. Also, there wasn't enough light.

    The hotel had a cozy atmosphere and had plenty parking.

    It’s one of those places that slaps you with unforeseen fees that are nowhere to be found on their website or their Booking.com listing. When I was checking in, the owner pointed to the sign about about the extra pet charge, which meant that on top of our 1-night stay for three people worth $100, I had to pay another $80 for my dog! While the listing does say pet charges would apply, even Booking.com staff admitted on the phone the amount was outrageous. They also had issues getting the owner to be responsive (as did I). Overall, a very bad experience that ruined our stay.

    The decor was nice.

    It needs to be updated ! The pool was horrible water got in my mouth tasted liked pure salt not chlorine . Bottom of the pool feel like rocks and water wasn’t clean and the room carpet was sticky and old and just not worth my 145$ I paid I stayed at wayyy better hotels ! For that price it needs to be 65$ a night no seriously everything is old and falling apart inside the pool area just uncomfortable

    The bedding was not comfortable at all. The pillows were too stiff, and the sheets were scratchy feeling. The nightstand was super small, with the bulky phone and lamp there, there was barely room to put a bedside water there or a book. The bathroom was dingy. The toilet paper holder was all rusty, which just looked gross and not clean. The shower head-that is the lowest shower head I have ever seen! I am only 5'2 and it was barely above my head! How do tall, even average height, people even shower in there well?? The pool is a LOT nicer in the photos-so that was deceiving. It seemed clean, but the pool furniture needs to be updated, and it was just so dark in there. Did not look like it did in the picture at all.

    I didn't hear that a breakfast was included, was it? I can see the Inn is trying for a more modern look, but they still have a ways to go. The stenciled numbers on the doors were cute. The vibrantly painted beds were a cute touch.
