The room was OK, but the toilet stopped working in the middle of night, which got rather nasty before we could alert housekeeping about it in the morning. It should have worked from the outset, as we did nothing to cause the problem. The bar closed at 9:00pm - too early for us, having returned to the hotel from dinner. The restaurant wasn't open for breakfast - only the coffee bar was, which was disappointing, as we had a drive ahead of us.

They recently updated their lobby area & it looks very nice & the rooms are clean, bedding clean & comfortable. There is a smell when you walk in the lobby of it being old & musty & the hallways are dingy & tired but it is the only hotel in the area so there’s not much of a choice. Staff is excellent & super friendly so that is a huge plus & outweighs the negatives!

The entire property is very dated. The rooms are very dated, think 1985 ish! Played golf and the course is in bad shape. Fairways were terrible. They are extremely short-staffed which caused delays in service, and food prep. I'm guessing this is why the staff is cranky.
