Rooms were very nice and clean. The included breakfast area was pretty standard, however the staff did not seem to be bothered to refill anything (including coffee). When I informed her the coffee was out she just continued to sit in her back room.

The swimming pool was just what was needed. Quiet, private, and, old growth roses are blooming and smell divine. I wasn’t sure where to get an appropriate swim towel, so I used the one from my room. An unexpected mallard flew in to share the pool with me. Loved it!

2nd floor landing filthy. Food, old bandaids, rusty stairs. Our room was spacious and clean except some towels had old make up stains on them. Tissue box had 3 tissues in it. Employees seemed like tired robots.

It was ok. Cleanliness wasn't great, hair in the shower and sink. Broken outlet cover and questionable outlet behind the bed. The check in time on the confirmation said 3:00 but the sign at the hotel said 4:00. When the employee came into the lobby I was able to check in due to my room being ready. Probably wouldnt stay there again.
