Found cigarette butts in my room on the dresser and floor. Had to ask for a vaccum and vaccum the floor myself as well as mop the whole room. They ran out of extra pillows and the vacuum I used sent ash in the air when I started it up . A bunch of people I know stayed there and one of them actually had bed bugs in their room. When we arrived our doors were actually open. This place has potential but needs a big change in management.

i booked a room that was an exceptionally low price & when i got there that room was not available so they put me in a beautiful 2 bedroom suite that was 3x as much as what i paid at no extra cost so i am really grateful. I arrived kinda late but they were very polite, friendly and treated me very well i would def stay there again & again.

At check in we were told they double booked and that I shouldn’t have had a room reserved. Michelle at the front desk found us a room, although my original booking was for an apartment. Room trash was full and there was a bar of used soap in the shower. Fire alarm was not hooked up and just placed on a shelf. We also talked with a local that said the motel is known for squatters. Do not book here!!!

Well, I did not get to stay at the property, but I can review what I seen and experienced at the property. When we got there, there was no one in the office. We called the hotel, from the lobby/entrance, and the phone rang and rang. No answer. Finally, someone in the back of the property was watering, so we approached and asked for assistance. He came to the office, could not help, went to a back house and got someone, she came and she advised that the hotel is fully booked and that Expedia, who we booked through should have never booked us as they are completely booked. They had 1 room with plumbing issues they could see if were repaired enough to give us, but it was not. Dealing with Expedia has been unsuccessful for a refund as this hotel staff will not answer the phone as to confirm that we were unable to stay there. So I am still dealing with trying to get a refund. I can say that the pool was dirty, green murky water, and we had thought before we could not get our reservation that we were not going to use the pool, even though we planned it as it was super hot that weekend. The pictures do not reflect what we saw. Parking is sparse to say the least...The worst is that the entire area we were going to visit, all of the lodgings were booked. We found 1 place that would only accommodate us for the night. So, if given the opportunity in the future, I would not stay at this hotel.

Cute & Rustic

This not a Ritz Carlton and is exactly what you’d expect from a rustic lodge in a small town. It was clean, the front desk was helpful, and it is walking distance from everything. The beds squeak and I could hear the neighbors tossing as I’m sure they could hear me. Wouldn’t choose this for a couples vacation. I would stay solo again.

Nice little property and the people that work there are friendly, a/c was pumping and rooms are as advertised. Just a note...I had tried to contact the lodge for a couple of questions about check in, etc - called, texted and emailed for several days and never received a single reply. Once i was there everything was fine.

Wish i had a better stay

I never received a key for my room had to leave the door un locked was told i would eventually receive a key and I never did. Rude landscaper told me to keep my dog off his grass even though its a pet friendly inn. My wife asked the staff to bring towels up to our room and they never did so she had to go pick them up at the front desk. Needless to say iwe wont stay here ever again
