The grounds were beautiful. Rooms were nice. The staff wasn’t terribly welcoming or friendly. They definitely could have amped up the service factor when I arrived. They made me feel as if I was greatly inconveniencing them to check in and didn’t leave room for questions. After that part was over the rest of my stay was great!

The heater in the room was horrible. It was loudly blowing warm air onto my head on and off all night. The fan of the heater kept coming on even though I turned it off multiple times.

The front desk staff were not pleasant at all. Cleaning staff and restaurant staff were great. Since the original owner passed away the moral seams to be down.

Old and poor service
This hotel is old, not renovated and probably has the standards of a 3* hotel with the price of a 4/5*. The service is just not available for anything you need from a hotel. This is a motel. Don’t expect more despite the price of a regular good hotel.
