The highlight of this hotel is definitely the decor! If you enjoy the outdoors, this is a great place to stay. The room was clean and quiet. We enjoyed spending time in the hot tub and the indoor/outdoor pool. We did run into a slightly awkward situation when a staff member was yelling on her personal phone, but we walked away and hope this is not a common occurrence.

The room was clean and comfortable. Microwave, coffee, and refrigerator all clean and working nicely. Breakfast was quite good (toaster oven is elderly, though, and doesn't toast). Pool and hot tub were impressive. Hallway walls and carpet are very shoddy and dirty and spots are ripped. With the quality of the rest of the hotel, we were quite surprised these public-facing areas were allowed to become so thread-worn. Bar and restaurant were good, with exceptional staff friendliness. We'd stay again, but replace the carpet and the breakfast toaster, please!

The property was beautiful but the cleanliness of the hotel room itself was poor. There was a pod left in the keurig, there was trash left on the floors, and the matress had a pee stain on it. There was also a cockroach crawling on the bed 😐 you could tell that the bathroom counters hadnt been wiped down and there was so much hair a soap scum in the bathtub drain that the water pooled up while showering. I am disappointed.

We had a nice stay. Loved the 2 person jacuzzi tub. The room was large and clean. It was also quiet. The room had 2 air conditioning units. One had some rattling noise, so we turned it off. The location was quiet and convenient. The staff were all quite friendly. The breakfast was a typical mid-range hotel breakfast. It was a Sunday morning around 8:45am, so keeping it stocked appropriately seemed to be a challenge for the staff. That would most likely be my only complaint.

The property seemed to be greatly understaffed, but all staff appeared to be genuinely working hard and doing the best they could. We had some issues at check-in, first given a room that was clearly not ready (door open, drink on the dresser, bed unmade). We went back to the main building and were given a new room. It looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed in months thick dust on the carpet, dog toy under the couch, syrupy residue in the drawer, we saw some gnats but were hoping that wiping everything down and taking out the left behind trash would help. Our kids were eager to go swim so we swam until about 9:30pm. When we returned to the room gnats were pretty bad. One flew into my drink. The bathroom was also covered in gnats at this time. We tried calling the front desk from our room and my cell phone no answer. We went to the front desk in the morning and asked to be moved. The associate was friendly and accommodated our request for which we were grateful. She let us know we would get a 25% credit back for the inconvenience. The second room was gnat free! Whoo hoo! It appeared to have been vacuumed but was still pretty dirty (ie candy wrapper under the chair), dirty fridge inside and out. I think the staff is doing the best they can with what they have but cleanliness is important to me when traveling. We may try the hotel again but stay in the main building rather than the cottages as we later read that building tends to be cleaner. The breakfast server is was amazing!!!!!
