The staff was excellent from the check in to the maintenance to the breakfast staff. The rooms do need to be updated and in my opinion have a moldy smell. They did change my room and the second one was better.

We only stayed one night passing through town. The property is nice. The lobby was pretty with a large tree decorated for July 4th. The staff were all very friendly and got us checked in quickly. Our only complaint would be there was an odor in the room. It was tolerable so we did not request a room change. Most likely the rooms need to be updated with new carpet and ac unit as it was set at 64 but was not that cold. The AC ran loudly all night.

The rooms definitely need updating.

Lobby was beautiful and breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfast buffets I’ve had. That being said, the room we had wasn’t too great. The shower had some of the pinkish mold in the corners, there wasn’t even a shower curtain in there when we arrived we had to call for it, and the air in the room just felt muggy no matter what you put the a/c on. If it hadn’t been for the mugginess and the shower it would’ve been a better rating.
