Unacceptable response from Hotel owner

Traveling with another couple, we had booked two rooms. Upon entering the rooms we immediately felt each room was excessively hot the moment we opened the door. We tried to control the temperature but the thermostat appeared to be broken. We went downstairs to advise the person at the desk who was very gracious and called the owner. The owner told the employee to give us each a fan, which we knew would not make a dent in the heat. As the employee was attempting to explain the situation, the owner hung up on him. We felt sorry for the employee as he was at a loss to help us. Evidently the air conditioning was not working and the owner was not going to make any attempt to correct the problem. We were unable to stay there and had to scramble for another place to stay. I have traveled all 48 states using Hotels.com and have never experienced such poor service. Also, the dates posted are incorrect. Our reservations were for Monday, April 14 through April 16

I had just proposed to my girlfriend so we stayed in the Honeymoon suite. Everything was literally perfect until it was time to actually go to bed and there was no fan no air conditioning nothing we had to sleep with the windows open and even that wasn’t enough . The hotel is great, one of the best, but no air conditioning killed me, I ended up waking up early Even before breakfast and went home.

Quiet with great location

Lovely 1night stay while traveling through the area. Front desk staff was super helpful and professional, breakfast in the morning was good and location to battlefields, shopping and restaurants very convenient. Improvement request: exhaust fan in bathroom and AC / fan to move air in room - we were thankful the windows opened.

What a special hotel! It’s unique and extraordinary, with fresh flowers inside and out, and kind staff. I was thrilled when I arrived and saw what I had booked! You never know what you’re going to find, and I was extremely satisfied.
