"Air conditioning was good but loud. Only 2 pillows per bed, we prefer more. Chair was deep & uncomfortable to sit in even with a pillow. Breakfast left a lot to be desired. Staff was nice. Our room was not touched during our stay, assumably because we had our dog with us. Felt the pictures misleading. ..."

"Not handicapped accessible. No grab bar in the shower. Had to crawl up to the second flower. Breakfast room was real small and we had to wait a good while for a table. Black hairs in the sink and the ice bucket was dirty."
