Okay, but not great

The property looks amazing in the photos and the exterior was very nice and the flowers were beautiful. The room appeared nice when we entered, but the overwhelming smell of fabreeze room fresher was almost more than we could deal with. After airing out the room a bit, we settled in. Went to take a shower and noticed brown spots on the floor near the sink and bathroom; when we used a wipe to clean them up, it smelled and looked like dog crap. Probably why the room had been so fabreezed. Very disappointed to discover the crap and made us wonder about the rest of the cleanliness of the room. It is a nice location and is quaint. Thin walls and floors so you hear most everyone else in the building. The only staff member that we encounted was friendly, but we were there on the last day the motel was open for the season.

The cutest part of the property is the office with all of its flowers. There is a general Bavarian theme, but not significant. The rooms were clean and nice.

Surprised in a good kind of way!

Older property that has been beautifully maintained. Very clean! Some nice touches like warm cookies and milk in the lobby in the afternoon. Did not use but 2 pools one inside and one outside. Walking path. Pickle ball courts. Free washer and dryer with detergent and softener. Will return.
