We booked this last minute because it was close to the wedding we were going to. The staff was very nice and attentive but our room reeked of smoke and there were stains all over the carpet. We’re also pretty sure we saw a ghost. I wouldn’t stay here again.

If you're looking for a cheap spot to stay near the village and aren't planning to spend too much time in the hotel room I would stay here. The room was clean but very outdated, the wallpaper in the bathroom was falling off and some of the bathroom tiles were broken. There is a TV but it looks more like a computer screen. The pillows were paper thin so maybe pack your own pillow. Free coffee, tea and water in the lobby - we didn't eat at the restaurant. There was someone at the front desk when we checked in but that is the only time I saw someone, which was okay because when we booked it said no front desk staff. Overall, cheapest spot very close to the main street but very old.

The room was exactly as described. It was a cost effective option for an evening for my girlfriend and myself. The tempur-pedic bed was extremely comfortable which is great. The room was clean, the water pressure was great. The toiletries provided were in condiment packages which were...a little lacking. But really other than that it was a pleasant evening and I'd stay again if I needed to.

We have always enjoyed staying at the pines and while the staff was polite our room lacked any window coverings. No shades no blinds. At night we felt like we were in a fishbowl and the sun was very bright in the am. We requested blinds or another room and were told nothing could be done, but we could hang towels. I’m not sure I would stay again.

The property was close to town but did not have hot tub as listed, could not get extra pillows. The ones provided were extremely flat. There were no curtains or blinds on any of my windows so when i showered i turned around to have people standing there staring at me naked. Noone is at the desk, u have to call for everything. Could not get my tv to work. No fridge for leftovers. Shampoo but no cond. Just a room like a hostel. Food downstairs is always excellent. Have eaten there several times but will not reccomend or stay again. Not worth the price.

The room was clean and basic. The wallpaper in the bathroom was pealing off the walls in Room 104 and the was no water pressure in sink. The tub pressure was awesome. The place needs updating, but there was construction going on in the floors above, so maybe soon it'll be better soon.
