Our room was not very clean. I don’t think they cleaned behind the bathroom door in years. The carpet edges in the room hadn’t been vacuumed for a very long time as well. Several things that should’ve been in the room or not and we had to ask for them. The staff was very nice and very friendly.

They did not clean after guess left. In the bathroom you could find pieces of soap with hair, wraps. The towels so old and yellow, the floor in the bathroom dirty; bad smell…In the back of the property garbage, junk. The place has potential but they do not take care of it😩

It wasn't really clean. The outside back stairs had carpet on them but the carpet was worn and torn and taped in areas. The wood where it was torn was rotten. The "breakfast" consisted of pre fried and boiled eggs that were how old? There was cold cereal and limited amount of fruits and milk.

Our hosts, Suma and Dinesh, were wonderful. Both were warm and kind and sincere and helpful and humble and joyful. We thoroughly enjoyed talking and sharing with them. They were never without a smile on their faces... and neither were we! Their sense of humor made our day! They were a real blessing.

Hotel is worn and needs an update. Pool was “closed for the season”, which is disappointing for kids. I don’t know why it cannot be advertised if the pool is closed, especially if it is long term. Hotel beds were clean and comfy, but the room is very tight with two beds.

Not great

The hallways and room smelt like mildew, blankets were covered in stains, water pressure horrible, tons of hornets in window couldn’t open our window to enjoy fresh air from the mildew smell. The owners didn’t seemed concerned when I pointed it out when they replaced our blanket. We were told there would be a breakfast buffet, but it was only cereal. The faucet seemed broken had to tilt it just right in a weird direction for the water to not drip. Carpets in hallways needed to be vacuumed, our room didn’t seem like it was serviced by house keeping as the tissues were empty, toilet paper was not replenished, and overall just very unhappy. We won’t be back and do not recommend.

There isn't really a breakfast. Staff is very nice. Price would've been cheaper if I called in rather than use Expedia. The receipt I got showed $220 and paid $270 on Expedia. Pool was closed but we didn't care since we didn't have children. Room was clean. Good place to lay your head at night.

The room was OK, but there was a ring in the bathtub that looked permanent. There was a wet spot on the carpet in front of the refrigerator. The breakfast was 3 kinds of cereal, boiled eggs, toast and mini muffins. No hot food, not even a waffle maker. No friut. Pool was shut down for the season with no mention of this when i made the reservation. No elevator, had to drag the suitcases up the stairs. Small TV with about 12 channels.
