No card could unlock the first room we stayed in. Had to move to the next room and that door latched, but it was Janky on how it did. It was a great stay but the security of the 2nd room and access into our first room was disappointing.

Was very impressed with the cleanliness of the building and the friendliness of the staff. Breakfast was the typical fare, but the biscuits were amazing. If you're going to do biscuits and gravy, do it right!! Overall, extremely pleased with the stay and will definitely go back if my travels take me there.
