Would have given more stars, everything was great except for two areas. First, the food is very basic, but we had heard that and there is great dining nearby. However, we were there for two nights and NEVER received maid service, even after going to the office (across the street btw) THREE times and repeatedly being promised service. Also, parking is very limited. Great location and cute property.

The room was outdated and not as described in room description. Screens were off windows laying on patio. We attempted to put them on but they were so bent they wouldn’t stay in place. Breakfast was not worth a penny . The cereal containers were broken, the breads were stale ,the waffle irons were old and burnt. There was no fruit , yogurt choices or protein. For the price of the room in off season it was not worth it.

DO NOT STAY!! No one in the office most of the time. Bright light in your bedroom at night. Toilet always runs. Dirty with crickets in your room. No crib for baby except one that’s filthy and smells like vomit. Won’t refund unused nights for horrible service.

Avoid this hotel!

They have one front desk for 4 hotels. They put us in a different hotel and room than we reserved. It was dirty, smelly and the furniture looked like it was bought at a yard sale. DO NOT STAY HERE!
