The staff was nice. The room had a couple flies and it smelled stale. The Staff was nice and offered another room, but the family was not having it. We went across the street to AVID hotel. I lost a little money, after booking via expidea-due to cancelation. Hopefully Expidea can credit me a room at a later date. *God will provide!

Property clean and was being worked on every day. Should’ve used the pool but didn’t. Staff was friendly. Room was clean but air wasn’t on upon arrival. Room smelled musty as a result. That wasn’t a problem because I brought plug-ins and room refresher spray. Didnt eat breakfast but should’ve. I preferred to sleep in. Close to restaurants and shopping. Overall, I enjoyed my stay! I would stay again! Perfect birthday getaway for antiquing in the area!

The staff and amenities are fine. The room we had (#136), it was not in good condition. The bathroom was not good. There was mold around the tub. The walls and ceiling were splotchy with different paints from multiple patchings. The sink area was close to the same. I would not stay here again for the price that I paid.
