The staff were great but the accommodations were pretty terrible. The halls smelled heavy of cigarettes and the room had a strong musty smell. The heater in the room was not adjustable. When the temp got to 80 we had to crack open the patio door to cool off the room. The tv ran on WiFi but was not strong enough to watch a show. I don’t think we will stay again.

The room and interior are very dated and in need of repair. Ours had holes in the walls a very old bathtub that did not appear clean. The upside was the bed was very comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is lovely and it is a shame the interior is in rough shape.

Great stay, kind staff, good value

We really enjoyed our stay. Very dated, bare-bones lodging but the staff was friendly. Free breakfast included a made-to-order omelette station. The restaurant was lively on Friday and the food was fresh and cocktails nicely made. It was an older, chill crowd overall that was staying there during our visit.

From the front desk lady, to Mary Ann our first server, to the omelet guy, to our 2nd server, everyone was wonderful and helpful. The grounds are so pretty, along with the tiki bar, and restaurant patios. We ate on site both nights, and the food was really good. The rooms had all the comforts of home, and comfy beds. There is even a comfy game area where we could play cards. Love it here!
