The hotel is pet friendly. I arrived 45 minutes earlier than check in time and was told that it would be an extra $25. That policy sucks. The room, while clean, looked worn. Especially the carpets. The breakfast did not look fresh or appetizing. We skipped it. All in all, not bad, not great.

The grounds, lobby and breakfast cafe were all lovely. The room was another story. The room was humid (moist) and cool. The a/c unit emitted a weird smell, so we turned it off for our entire stay. The carpet was sticky in places, wrinkled and worn throughout, and badly stained just inside the door. Extremely disappointing.

Decent stop on a long road trip

Enjoy our 1 night stay. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean, only complaint was the “pet floor” (aka the 5th floor) has a funky smell to it. Perhaps use to be a smoking floor when that was thing, but it musty and mildew smelling.

First room reeked of marijuana, but front desk apologized and moved us to another room. Nearly fell getting out of the bathtub. Really need to have some type of anti slip in the tub. Bed was great. Breakfast had a lot of choices.

There was nothing specifically gross, this place was just generally pretty gross. If you can swing the extra $40, book another option nearby.
