Our room was nice and clean. We enjoyed the outdoor patio area. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast in the dinning room. Both meals were delicious and prepared well. We enjoyed lovely walks around the property.

Liked: Cleanliness
We had a very quick overnight stay, and did arrive fairly late. Even though we had contacted the hotel that we were coming, we still had to wait a good 10 minutes for any staff member to check us in. The hotel rooms were dated but clean. The location is BEAUTIFUL. Overall it worked fine for what my family needed for the evening..

The room was clean. However, because the facility was old, it had a musty odor of mold and mildew. I am allergic to mold and spent the night in our vehicle. My children were unaffected and slept well. Otherwise, the grounds were well-kept and pretty. The staff was very friendly,

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
1 night stay $183.00. Walked into room and it stunk like mildew, wet carpet, locker room that has never been cleaned. Carpet was old and felt greasy and stringy. Cushions on chairs were so flat and smelled old and musky. No microwave or refrigerator of any type. Bathroom had mildew growing on shower tiles. Way too much money for this. The view was beautiful.....

Beautiful location! The hotel is old, but the bed was comfortable. The view from our little porch was outstanding. I would go back for that alone. The food in their dining room is mediocre.
