Hotel and breakfast was good. Charging your clients to park their car in your lot, in my opinion, does nothing more than irritate your customers. Put an additional $5 charge on your nightly rate and forget the charges to park in your parking lot. It would be something that no one would complain about but charging a charge to stay followed by a charge to park when there really isn’t an option is ridiculous!

Annoying

The only thing was our door was ajar when we went to our room. I went to tell the front desk but it was brushed off as the inspector left it open. That annoyed me.

When we arrived no one was at the check in desk, we were then advised the internet was down. Upon arriving at our room we immediately realized that the room had not been cleaned/ prepared after the last guest left. We went back downstairs and were assigned another room. When we entered our second room it had a door to an adjoining room that was unlocked and wouldn’t lock. After inspecting the room it was determined the beds were dirty and there were bugs. We immediately informed the staff we would not be staying the night and left.

The area seems to pretty much shut down on Sundays. Lots of the immediately accessible restaurants were closed by check-in time. Our room was ok, there were some stains on the wall that I think need to be taken care of and the hvac unit needs to be cleaned because when it blew the smell it emitted was not great. The bed was very comfortable. The hotel was pretty close(a little under 10 minutes away) to a shopping center that had other restaurants and stores. There was a Kroger and Walmart in that area. Overall, it was a decent stay.
