Check-in was great, Check-out not so much. They would not give me a receipt at check-out because I booked through you. Next time I'll book through the hotel. Also the room had a lot of dead ladybugs and a few live ones. There were dishes and silverware in the dishwasher.

I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. The owner and manager refused to help me with a reservation issue even though they were on premise. Their reasoning was they were off duty. They did not return any of my calls either.

Property Needs Updating

The staff was very friendly, the lobby decor for fall was cute, and breakfast was OK. I slept well and the bed was comfortable and good hot water. However, the place needs updating and some better cleaning. There were mildew stains on the ceiling of the bathroom over the shower, the carpet was stained, the lampshades were peeling on the inside, and the door was slightly out of plumb (you had to push to get it to shut properly). Probably would pass staying here again.

Oops.

Room was not ready for use. No toilet paper. No paper towels. No dishes or spoons. Dishwasher was broken. Ice maker was broken. No dish drain or dish soap. People were great about getting what i ask for though. Their idea of a hot breakfast was adding a waffle iron.

Good location.

We were there for the Mud Run at the Gun Club. The hotel is very quiet and modestly decorated. The room needed freshening up. It is dated , the bed needs replaced and the pillows had a dirty smell like hair oils. The little room didn't have air and was stuffy. We removed the nice bed cover and used our own, as we knew the dog wouldn't stay in the bed we brought for her. The fridge could use a good scrubbing. Tables, but no lamps, odd. Breakfast had no proteins, all prepackaged sugar-type donuts etc. All in all, thank you for the stay.
