Green mill restaurant was poorly managed. Good service after an hour of waiting with a bigger group that wanted to be seated as soon as possible… not well managed.

Clean & Quiet

Rooms clean but earring on floor, no bedding for couch bed. Quiet & peaceful, no one with us in pool either time. Breakfast okay but had to get employees to fill pancake machine & get more milk (out of little bottles so they set out a half gallon) & that was at 7:30 am. Great to have 2 tvs in room. Clean halls & pool area!

Stayed for a wedding in town. Our room was partially clean. There was candy and bead necklaces leftover from a birthday party in the couches and near the beds. Housekeeping walked into our room while we were still inside the room. Other than that it was a pleasant stay.
