Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The bed was warm and there was plumbing and tv. Other than that the stay was mediocre. The small breakfast bar was not stocked in the morning with nothing but probably the previous morning's leftover half loaf of bread, cereal, 2 granola bars, and a quart of milk.

Dirty and outdated.

The room looked like it hadn’t been cleaned. The sheets looked dirty but it may be they were just stained. Where the air unit as I could see outside along the edge. The photos shown in the app for this property were clearly not of this property.

Run down

Nobody was at the desk at 8 pm when we arrived. We pushed the call button and 15 minutes later a couple drove up in pajamas to check us in. The entire place was dirty and run down. Our pillows were disgusting, but thankfully we had our own since we had been camping. The room was dirty and the shower barely drained. I wish I had stopped at Chaimberlin instead. Don't stay here.

Super outdated property, bathrooms were tiny, pillows were non existent, everything smelled like cigarettes. Breakfast was literally a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter, no cups for coffee. Would never ever come back.

Comfortable clean room

We checked in late while traveling through the area. The room was clean and comfortable. The shower was good and there were plenty of towels and toiletries available. There was a microwave and refrigerator also available. We really appreciated having bedside tables on both sides of the bed. (We had 1queen size bed) Breakfast was disappointing. Only granola bars, toast, Raisin Bran, coffee and milk. Later as we were leaving there was fresh donuts. My husband is gluten intolerant and there was nothing for him.

The first room we were given was the worst. The curtains didn't close and the ac slats were held open with wads of toilet paper. I asked for another room. It looked better but was still run down and dirty. There were stains everywhere. I woke up with bites all over. Breakfast was stale cereal.
