4/10

It was filthy room had gum stuck in the carpet, black and red stains everywhere, hair all over the bathroom, flies and knats were noticed in the room upon walking through the door the first time, door card reader died after opening the door initially. no amenities, pool and spa wasnt clean had a fair mount of bugs leaves and visible dirt. Spa was cold and out of order. Its asham because it seems like it could be a nice place. It has potential to be a decent hotel, and I can only speak on the one room we stayed in as well as the other flaws we experienced.

Very nice staff. Property old and outdated. Hot tub not working and dirty as well as pool. Had to be moved to different room die to first room being dirty, fridge not working as well as tv. But pleased they were accommodating. But with that said the price was very economical however regardless of price everything should still work as well as be clean. Overall not horrible once moved it was quiet and comfortable.

The property has 3 buildings, with elevators available in the main building. This was helpful aa we were bicycle touring. There was a cute covered patio area outside the main building, but it was hard to enjoy as it seemed dirty and the trash bins were full.
