Loved the cottage setting & cleanliness but disappointed there was no blankets, only sheets on bed, no one sleeps with bedspread, and lovely stovetop & refrigerator but NO coffee pot, No dishes or utensils nor pots & pans?? Didnt make sense to us & hence we had to eat out all weekend. But the staff were very nice. Lastly, no late check out available, gave us 45 minutes extra when asking, never experienced that before

Very clean. Actually liked the room. Staff very friendly. There was an ironing board but no iron. I knew I had to ask for one. But I asked Saturday evening and apparently the only one available had been loaned out but not returned. I asked Sunday morning and was told it still had not been returned. But shortly afterwards, an iron was brought to the room. While the room had a two eye stove to, there was no cookware. But that was ok. I didn’t want to cook.

This is a step into the past. Feels like a small apartment with kitchen. Comfortable bed. Heat adequate on a cold, rainy night. Wish they had a small coffee maker and com- plementary coffee—enough for two cups. Quiet and the grounds were well-kept. A comfortable, affordable place to get a good night’s rest.

Very sub par. Giant cockroach on floor. Very little amenities. Batteries didn’t work in remote. Couldn’t get a second receipt from office. A stove in room but no cookware (so what is the use?), no one came by to check if I needed anything. Bottom of door seal fell off after 2nd day. Place is susceptible to floods. No dogs are allowed in an already nasty place (why?)

I liked that it had a large refrigerator, but it was about 50 years old and dirty. There a kitchen sink and stove. Had to brush teeth in kitchen because bathroom had no cold water. Only the hot water worked. The TV was much too loud with no way to change volume or to mute it. The remote didn't turn on or turn off TV. The side controls on TV didn't work either. They didn't clean the room or change towels, maybe due to very heavy rains. The wifi was fine, but had to call desk for password. I also paid an extra $20 for early check-in at 1:00 pm.

I was desperate- or else would never have stayed!

This was literally the only room available in town for the Garth brooks concert. I took it not having a high expectation. Check in was super easy. Room was extremely old and worn. Although it appeared clean, it had a terrible musty cigarette smell. Bed was hard but sheets were clean. We didn’t even shower as we just slept and left ASAP. Pros-I didn’t see any bugs, was a short drive to campus and restaurants. Cons- everything else. We paid way too much for what this room was worth, however it was a high demand weekend.

very dissatisfied; we weren't there 5 minutes, I told the owner that the room wasn't what we expected - he told me no refund and shut his glass window on me. I wouldn't want my worst enemy to have to stay in a place as filthy as this. no locks on the doors, smelled like someone sprayed a can of freshener in it, holes in the wall, the tv was not working properly, cannot believe they put this hotel on the travel sites as a place to stay. :o(

The room stank of cigarette smoke. The bed and furniture didn’t seem bad but the smell made us leave before we could use the room so we paid for a night we never used.

Room rates are normally $60 a night but because of graduations it was increased to $100 a night. We rented 2 rooms for 2 nights. Our daughter, husband n grandaughter had one room. There was a couch bed in their room but we were told they could not use it!! So we asked for a pillow and blanket so she could sleep on the couch but was refused, they would not even give us that!! Had to beg for an extra roll of toilet paper. The bars of soap were so small that luckily we had brought extras. They would not even replenish the soap. Both rooms had a kitchenette but absolutely no dishes, silverware, coffee cups or anything. No coffee pot Iin Room and no coffee in office. For spending over $400 for the two nights you would think that we would of had the necessary amenities . A very disappointing stay and would never go. Ack or recommend to anyone!!
