The fact that they have pets allowed in the rooms, makes it feel dirty. They try to make it feel current and clean by having laminate floors, which in turn makes it feel old and dirty instead. The rooms are not cozy at all. The bed was comfortable, the staff was nice. The grounds are nice for families. ##### Athena Stayed 1 night in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reynalda Dec 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The stay was very comfortable.
