Overall, there was good sanitation and hygiene. Even though the rooms were available, the manager would not allow us to check in thirty minutes early. He expressly stated that this was because we booked through a third party, and he allowed other people to check in early. I wish we had known about this policy beforehand and felt really embarrassed.

Lack of communication
The pool wasn’t open and we were never told that and that was the only reason we booked a hotel. We also asked for a late checkout and it was granted and then in the morning we were called and told to get out because checkout was at 11am and were told they don’t do late checkouts.

I don’t have any problem with the room or hotel. It is more with hotels.com The room is at least 40% over priced. It should cost around 110to 120 per night.

On the map, this property looks as though it is conveniently located. It is anything but. There are no good restaurants nearby. The nearest full-service restaurants are a minimum 15-minute drive on major roads. Speaking of roads, the road noise at this property is absolutely staggering. They should pass out ear plugs as they do at properties that are near railroad tracks. To top all this off, we had to call hotel staff at 1:30 in the morning to get the people above us to stop making such incredible noise. We've never heard anything like it at any hotel where we've ever stayed. We are FREQUENT travelers. Although you can't blame hotel staff for the noise above you, you certainly can hold the hotel itself responsible for the conditions that allow noise to travel that "well" through the floors. The noise was similar to jack hammering. It would have been horrific at any time of day, but at 1:30 in the morning it was obscene. And, even on top of that, at 6:00 in the morning, after getting very, very little sleep, the alarm clock went off in our room. Clearly, a previous occupant set the alarm. Hotel staff need to check this during every cleaning for new occupants. It might not have been so horrible if we had been able to sleep during the night. Worst night's sleep in a hotel. Ever. If you're looking for a place to sleep, eat at a nice restaurant, and enjoy the sounds of nature, this ain't it! On a positive note, breakfast was excellent and staff were uniformly friendly.

Very clean and recently renovated. Property is an older building and unfortunately its bones are creaking. Room 121 heard every move the residents above made. It wasn’t loud walking, it was creaking of the wood, sounds like an old boat creaking with the waves. Light in same area would dim and brighten as it pleased. But over all, if I had not stayed in that room, it was very nice and the staff was very pleasant!

We enjoyed the stay but there was an odor in our room and I am not sure if it was due to the recent remodeling that was done or something else. The room and bathroom were very clean as was the downstairs reception area. We had to leave before the breakfast was served.
