First, I have to say I was a bit nervous with the mixed reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, the rooms are not brand new. If you really look there are some "blemishes." A small stain, older curtains, grout coming loose, but overall our room was clean and comfortable. It was also half the price of other motels in... More

The amenities say "Heated pool"....not really....they have a solar cover thats it. Maybe by late August it will be heated. "Free Wi-Fi".....sorta....sure its free...however you can only get a connection outside or right by the window. Toilet worked for 2 days then you had to jiggle the handle or remove lid and monkey with chain to flush. Tub...nasty....short shower and... More

I do not need to say any more, this place is too expensive and is by far the worst place we have ever stayed. Why eveything is old and smells. The owners have deferred making any necessary upgrades to anything. More

Because I never would have stayed here - certainly not for nearly $100. I'm kicking myself this morning. Doesn't feel clean, can hear the neighbors snoring and hacking, holes in the curtains... Overall, downright scuzzy. More

Sorry to hear you felt this way. At the time of check in, if you felt the room wasn't clean, or was less than acceptable, it would be reasonable to come back to the office and let us know that the room did not meet your standards. We would have happily returned your money, and rented the room to someone... More

We had an unscheduled stop on the way home from our vacation due to car problems. I was a bit concerned about staying in a hotel that wasn't part of a chain being unfamiliar with the area, but I quickly realized that my fears where unfounded. From the warm greeting we received on the night of our arrival, to the... More

My husband and I spent a weekend here on a color tour mingled with a day spa journey. At first were reluctant after reading some of these reviews, but went ahead with our plans. We had a great time! The staff was friendly, spa services were outstanding and aside from the rainy weather, we had a perfect weekend in a... More

My experience began with a quote over the phone for a week stay. When I arrived on the day of check-in, the price was $50 higher than the quote. I tried to show the owner my notes made during our telephone conversation but she wasn't interested. I don't have time to look for something better, so I pay the new... More

It's hard to put any credibility on a review that thinks she can "talk at the hung up phone" and somehow think that the front desk can hear her. So then when the light goes out, she thinks that confirms her fears of being listened to via a phone that's hung up. It seems other than her unsubstantiated fears, she... More
