The stay was good. However, pet friendly rooms are down on the opposite end of the building of the designated area for potty breaks is located. We have a senior 14 year-old dog and a 3 year-old dog who is recovering from surgery. The 2nd floor was not the best of option for dog friendly rooms. Cleanliness was good really no complaints. Recommend to provide extra bags for the small trash cans. I am a traveling healthcare professional and have some of those bags that have made it home with me, they came in handy! Staff were nice and service was okay. I never received my 4:30am wake-up call that was requested. I phone ordered food from the restaurant located inside of the hotel. A wonderful option to provide room service with a small delivery fee for hotel guests only, would be ideal. I ordered 2 exact meals: cheeseburger with fries and cheese sauce. I was told 15 minutes. I went down to get my food but it wasn’t ready. I sat at the bar and enjoy a beer while I waited. It was probably another 20 minutes of waiting, not sure what happened there. The restaurant is nice and has decent priced food and drinks. For two meals and the beer it was $29. I left a $10 tip. The property overall is in good condition. Landscaping could use some upgrading, especially on a golf course. Breakfast was you’re basic grab-n-go continental style danish, and cold cereal. I think that restaurant in the hotel could work together on a breakfast buffet with scrambled eggs and biscuit w/gravy. Big Rooms!

We did not know we needed to ask if we wanted our room cleaned, however once found out our room was cleaned nicely. The standard of continental breakfast was not what was expected. A toaster with no bread our butter, limited option of pop tart our sugary cereal with milk. No yogurt, no bagels, no fruit. I only had coffee. That should have been more up to standard.

Staff there was great. Local people we met were so friendly. Hotel needs some work our room was musty smelling. Bathroom definitely needed updates. The tub had caulking in the bottom. It apparently must of had holes they repaired. Toilet seat heavily worn. I don't know why our room smelled musty. We traveled there with other couples. Rooms were the same. The food they served was really good. The free breakfast food had out dated yogurt. So beware and check dates. Probably will stay somewhere else, but visit the bar n grill for sure.

It was pretty clean. I’ve seen worse. TV was pretty small for the king size room we had. It was all the way across the room could barely read the close caption. Nothing for breakfast but pop tarts, muffins, and cereal. Apple juice and orange juice. waffle iron was on a table, not plugged in. Very disappointed in breakfast.

Stinky and noisy

If you like, sleeping in a stinky noisy room, you’ll love this place. Weekday stay empty hotel yet they had to shove us on the second floor without an elevator. As soon as we walked in it smelled of mold, and the window was wide open so they knew it. The owner of this hotel also owns a bar and golf course on the same property. At 7 AM they felt they needed to mow the golf course right below and directly adjacent to our room. Continental breakfast consist of pop tarts, and prepackaged muffins. Staff was nice.
