Disliked: Amenities
Room was in fine condition, no exterior lighting on the second floor so walking to and from car was in the dark, there was an abandoned vehicle with broken out windows when we pulled in and driveway has loads of large potholes. I imagine this place had a lot of character at one point but, it appears severely neglected at this point. The diner was closed and the pool and area with creek running through it are closed.

The best part about this place was the diner. Amazing food. Super friendly service. Has a great variety and ooen until 10pm. Loved it and would return just for that. The front desk staff was hit or miss. Not overtly friendly or helpful. The adjacent bar had pool and games and was fun. I'd be interested to come back when they had events available, but it was the holiday season so it was slower. The rooms were fine enough. Just expect the basics. No frills. Mostly clean....I had a dead fly on my pillow and the sheets had a dirty spot.
