Nice little place just bring snacks
Pros:

It was a nice place the guy checking people in was very nice. He was very pleasant . I do believe your prices for pops and candy could be lowered a little. I understand it is a luxury at the same time we got 3 rooms for my family. I did not drive personally. But Easter evening my daughter got hungry.

Can’t expect much from a small town hotel but it was overpriced for what we experienced.
Pros:

Location was great with plenty of amenities around. The staff was great and quick to help out.

Cons:

The pillows seemed feather filled and deflated within 30mins of laying on them. The room we stayed in had random paint on the ceiling. The toilet easily clogged. The pack’n’play we asked for was dirty and stained. The pool had ceiling issues and was held up with support poles.

Worst breakfast ever. For $300 a night, we’ll never return!
Pros:

It was close to our event

Cons:

This was a dungy hotel. The room stunk so we kept the window open the entire time. The breakfast selection and quality of food was the worst we’ve ever had at a hotel. You know the food is terrible when you wind up a fast food restaurant immediately after checking out. For the $300 we will never stay here again.
