Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room has leaks in the ceiling. Every time you walked into the room, there is mildew smell. We were assigned handicap room even though we are not handicapped. The handicap chair in the bathroom could not be lift out during shower. It was one of our worst stay.
I went here after our VRBO cancelled at the last minute, saying they overbooked. I was pleasantly surprised. Comfortable rooms, comfortable bed, friendly people, food was good.
Very unfriendly attitude along with the worse customer service. They were not ready to do any Changes in room option selection as Said the room is booked via Expedia!? also the lady in reception was not knowledgeable and professional

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Front desk was great! Had a great selection for breakfast. Room was clean. Pool had a very strong smell but while we were in swimming, maintenance came by and took a pool sample, stating they test the pool a few times a day. All in all, I would stay here again.
Very pet friendly hotel. Several places to walk "Fido". Good continental breakfast. Indoor pool. Friendly staff. Quiet location other than close to busy I65 interstate.
Most of the staff were very nice especially the lady running the kitchen. So sweet. Unfortunately the sheets on our beds had not been changed. I found hair in my bed and my sisters bed the sheets were all rumpled looked like someone just got up. The front desk said no other rooms were available. I asked for clean sheets and we changed our own bed. Went back down to front desk for top sheets and staff said she spoke to manager and now a room is available. I declined since my sister was in the shower and we had changed our beds. The beds were comfy with the much needed CLEAN sheets. I asked to be compensated for our first night but only received 1/2 since I declined another room. I pointed out it was not available when I asked in the beginning and we had already changed the sheets, showered and unpacked. Several conversations with corporate and local management still only received 1/2 of first night fee. I would not recommend this property based on my stay. I would give a 0 for cleanliness if I could and customer service.
I was there for a quick night, made reservation quickly and staff was very friendly when I checked in even though it was late and in the morning they were pleasant and helpful.
The property itself is great. The staff was very kind, friendly and helpful. The room and esp. the bed was wonderful. Offered everything we needed after a long long drive. But no close by restaurants or stores and what was near was closed/deserted and very shabby, actually scarry. But hotel is great. Breakfast was wonderful
