There was a musty smell in the room when I first entered but it either went away quickly or I got use to it. I wished the mini fridge had a freezer compartment so I could re-freeze my cold packs for my cooler. It was an accessible room so there wasn’t any counter space in the bathroom, just a flimsy wire rack. The hotel is next door to the Farmhouse Kitchen BBQ which was very good. The continental breakfast was mainly bread options, cold cereal and waffles. But if you look in the mini fridge there are Jimmy Dean breakfast croissants that you can microwave which I really enjoyed.

The hotel was great and the staff were very friendly. We travel with our two dogs and we're given doggy welcome bags upon check in containing a few doggy treats and a doggy bag (literally) to pick up waste should it occur. This is the only hotel we have stayed in that has a doggy park, which ours so enjoyed.

Was small and quiet. Liked the room set up. Jake, one of the desk staff was amazing and did over and above. Loved the pool table for guests to use. Fire pits were a cozy place to unwind. Parking was great. Downside -no elevator, pool and spa needs to be refurbished, hallway carpets were quite stained.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Facilities were all in great condition. The only thing I didn't like was that the pool rules specifically said 18 from 9-11pm. The pool was overrun with young children during these hours while their parents sat outside near the fire pit drinking. Property staff came in several times and never said a word to the parents.

Staff was very friendly when I checked in. Room was clean with no funny smells. Nice looking pool and firepit. Breakfast didn't really have options for me (gluten and dairy free) but was nice enough for normal people. Definitely staying again for future visits to the area.

This is the second stay for us here, both times we had an easy check in, clean rooms and nice pet exercise yard. We love the fact that they even give you a little treat bag for your pet when you check in.
