Absolutely no wifi except at front desk, no amenities except for pool the pool was very nice indoor pool but no hot tubs working, the place looked like the owner was barely keeping it open and it looked online and stuff that was there that I don't understand why you couldn't use was beautiful looked like if it was running properly would be a great place to go but it was not.

This stay was absolutely horrible!! We get there and are told the hot tubs are down, the fitness don’t work, the drink machines are out of order, no breakfast, no restaurant. We paid over $250 for 2 nights for my sons birthday, we found dirty men’s boxers in the drawer, there was blood stains on the kids sheets, and hair all over it. We asked for a refund, and they only give us $40 back, this is unacceptable, definitely do not ever go to this hotel. Even the lady running the desk at the time of our visit said she knows how bad the rooms are and understands our frustration. That is RIDICULOUS.

This place is an economy lodging experience. The swimming pool was nice but the rooms and interior areas of the building are aging and need repair. Staffing is very limited. We had to go find towels and toilet paper in storage closets. There also looked like mold in the bathroom due to no working fan.

We were greeted very friendly by the front desk manager. Hotel smelled very clean & is very charming inside. She was up front with us about wifi issues, hot tubs were not on & they do not serve breakfast any longer. Made sure we were okay with it before proceeding & processing our payment. Very nice pool & with a great big spiral slide. Pleasantly surprised that the room had Directv with tons of channels. I would absolutely recommend to anyone coming through with a young family. King bed with a pull out sofa was perfect for 2 adults & 2 teenagers.

This was the worst experience. Nothing worked, the hotel was empty. A GHOST TOWN. There was no Wi-Fi, there was no hot tub, no gift shop, no restaurant or café, there were kids running around who clearly belonged to someone who was employed there because they were running all around the back of the counter as well. We arrived late in the evening on the 21st, we went straight to bed. Upon waking up in the morning, I go to get in the shower to only realize that there is no hot water. When I brought this to the attention of the front desk they seemed to not be surprised at all. Even though the website gave all these false advertisements, they did not see the need to refund the night that I actually stayed there either.

This was the perfect property for our getaway. The house felt just as if we were at HOME ❤️🏡The park right out the back door was such a nice surprise. We even bought tennis rackets from the local super awesome flea market and had a blast playing tennis together there. 😎 Appreciated all the little touches that made our stay so comfortable

The hotel room was dirty. Bed sheets were stained. Place was rundown & not at all what the pictures portrayed. We had to get our keys reset multiple times, and the young lady at the front desk was very rude. Made us feel like we were a bother to her. The restaurant was not operating and there was no fitness room. This place sucked!

First the positive. The desk clerk was very pleasant and helpful. The room was clean enough to sleep in. Now the negatives. The property claims to have on site restaurant, with breakfast and an on site bar. Neither are true. It also claims to have a hot tub. That has been broken and out of service for over a year and the owner has no intention of repairing it. The entire facility is one of those run down, getting worse type of places where the owner is trying to squeeze every penny out of it with no interest in maintenance etc until which time it “accidentally” burns down. Expedia, you should verify the amenities this place is closing to have.

Owners givung up on this hotel
This place was amazing! Now its a shell of itself. All amenities are gone, breakfast, gym,hot tub. Only the pool is available and not very well kept at that. This last and final stay ever for me and my family they even cut the cable package to basic cable. So cheap and run down. They will say because of covid they cannot find any help, this is laughable. What does lack of employees have to do with putting generic coffee creamer in the coffee mate comtainer? Yeah i seen it personally. And the ripped up lobby couches have been on back order for 3 years now🤔 Like i said we will not say here again. Shouldn't have after we had to change room because all the roaches last stay. So shame on me!

pool is awesome! That said, the hot tubs were out of commission (which were a main draw for us), no wifi, no breakfast, our heater made a whining noise all night. we were not offered a different room even though there were plenty. Beds were springy and uncomfortable. The whole place is dated and dirty....but the pool was awesome

Not so great of a place
The stay didn’t meet my expectations, once I booked the room and it emailed a long list of accommodations that was currently unavailable, which inconvenienced us as family. Once we arrived at the hotel it seemed like a decent place but the pool was literally freezing and the building in which it was located. Once we got back to the room to take showers the water would not get warm at all, literally couldnt take a shower without shivering. The overall night wasnt to enjoyable

Liked the location. The lobby, pool, were okay. The room was in dire need of renovation. The ceiling and walls of the bathroom were peeling paint. We did not bother using the shower. The carpeting worn/aged. We couldn't wait to move on from our overnight stay. The room condition did not warrant the Friday night rate of $140.

The facility is outdated, old, dirty, cold water showers unless you let the water run ten minutes first. Beds are old worn out, rooms are cold and poor lighting. Halls smell. The lobby is disgraceful with peeled leather on all the leather like sofas. Cheap stay and you really don’t even get what you pay for. Only thing it has going for it is a pool for a cheap vacay for families. Too many written rules should tell you run don’t stay here. We needed two wash clothes for our second night stay and had to return our dirty towels to the front desk before they would give us clean ones. We did have a do not disturb sign on our room because we didn’t want anyone entering and thought getting wash clothes wouldn’t be such an issue. Won’t stay here again!

Not only has the hot tub been closed for a very long time but, the WiFi didn’t work, no food was available, the water in our room took 30 minutes to warm up, our deadbolt didn’t work, and our hvac unit didn’t work either. This used to be the hotel I sent people coming to town to since the prices were so good and so many good features, that won’t happen anymore.
