The person who was working Friday night was wonderful and very polite. When asked questions she was very knowledgeable not only about the hotel but about the surrounding area as well. The only issue i had is with the room out of the 5 outlets only one worked. Overall an amazing stay would definitely go back

Never again
1. They claim I had to sign a charge so they would get paid by Expedia.
I told them no I have never been told I have to do that. Then they showed me the credit card # , they were wanting me to sign to be charged.
2. No phone, no clock
3. Furniture looked looked terrible it was all scratched up and very old.
4 ceiling looked like it had caulking between boards.

The property is older and needs some repairs to be made. The pool is completely unusable. For one night this place would be okay but I would not recommend anyone stay here for more than one night.

DO NOT STAY HERE!
The cleaning staff was good, but the room was outdated, the shower floor was not stable and felt like you might fall though. I prepaid for 10 of my room and was called back to my office. I expected a refund or a the least a cedit for returning at a future date but was denied ANY refund or credit by ownership. Stay away from this place!!
