Pros:

The room was quiet and fairly clean. Location is great. New television that worked great. Clean microwave that worked great. The bed was decent.

Cons:

They should put a stopper in the bathroom sink - I was afraid of dropping something down the drain. Be sure to dust around the lamps and lightbulbs. Not a lot to complain about.

If this was not the only lodging available I would not have stayed here. Seemed a little run down.
Pros:

A little limited in choices and the dining area was way too small!

Cons:

Lighting in room could have been brighter. Window was dirty.

Cons:

I would like to request a refund due to the leaking issue on the floor in the room at the window and air conditioner unit.
7/2/2026: I received one 28 second phone call at 747pm, verifying my arrival time. I stated that I was 4.5 hours away at that time.
7/3/2026: I arrived a little after 1 am. The lady at the desk stated there was a leak at (referenced above) and it was a little wet, but they had fans running all day. I said ok and continued with registration. The room (121) smelled musky. I was expecting to walk into a damp floor, instead it was sopping wet at the end of the desk to the chair on the side of the bed. We were tired and crashed.
In the am I went out about 9am, give or take. I spoke with the gentleman and explained all of the above. He stated he knew it was about 3 feet out, but there are no other rooms. I said that’s fine, but do you have a steam cleaner and can you suck the water up? He said yes, we did that yesterday. I said, great, can you do it again. He said yes, are you leaving soon and going to the lake. I said yes, in lake city. He said the maintenance person would be there at 10am and asked if I would be here. I stated no that we were about to leave. He asked for permission to enter the room, which I granted. He said that they would also put an industrial size fan in there and asked if it was ok to leave it. I said yes.
We get back Friday, late pm. There is a smaller powerful fan, but the floor appeared to be just as sopping wet.
7/4/2026: In the am took pictures and video. Got back in the pm and it was the same.
7/5/2026: left in the am. Floor still the same.
