We came up for one night for a funeral. The property was clean, extremely comfortable and well priced for an emergency visit such as ours. What we liked about the room was there were two queen beds that were separated into two private areas with a bathroom in between. Both beds have a large screen TV. It was convenient having a restaurant on the premises.

Check-in was slow. Waited about 15-20 mn & front desk staff could have been more friendly. A/C unit made a horrible rattling/whistling noise on a hot, humid day. Had to shut it off in the middle of the night because it was keeping us awake. The pull-out couch was horrible to sleep on & was stained & gross. Just felt the room didn’t smell fresh & needed a deep cleaning. The heat & humidity brought out some unpleasant smells in the hallways, like wet dog. The bartender was pleasant & efficient with drinks & food. Appreciated the shuttle to the music festival. Grounds were clean.

I wanted a quiet room for a good night sleep, what I got was quite a few long black hairs on the bed and I’m bald. A clock that was never reset from daylight savings time, an air conditioning unit with a fan that was malfunctioning and some policies that Still have me wondering what I paid for the night stay. The breakfast was nice.
Long black hairs.  Not mine on sheets and pillows.  One pillow smelled like perfume.

Front desk issues

The front desk staff seemed untrained. Didn't know if they had room service or when the kitchen closed. They kept saying they were understaffed. Not sure why this was a reason they didn't know the kitchen and room service question? The bartender was really impressive. The rest of the staff was very polite and helpful

The hotel staff were not very helpful, we opted for the early check in , we kept getting delayed from original time we pre signed up for. We were charged a fee at checkout thet should not have applied because if only given room one hour before the original check in, staff said they couldn’t refund fee because it was out of their control
