Pros:

It was a nice area 20 mins outside of city. Quaint and not too busy. Jet tub was great. Scenery was nice.

Cons:

It's a little dated and needs some work. It looks like the owners are attempting to fix it up. Carpet holds the moisture from the jet tub too long..

Customer service tone deaf, security lax
Pros:

Nice looking facility (although it needs some exterior painting), friendly staff.

Cons:

Water petered out to almost nothing the first morning, so I couldn't have a shower and barely had enough water to wash my face. On the way out for the day we informed the front desk who said that they were aware there was a problem with the water in some of the rooms, they had brought in a plumber, they didn't know how long it would take, and if it wasn't fixed by that evening they would give us a couple of buckets of water to use. Really??? I let it go at, assuming that this would not be the attitude of the manager, and knowing that if there was no water in the evening I would switch to another hotel and expect the rest of our reservation to be refunded. The water was fixed by the time we returned later on, but we found the door to our room ajar. We informed the front desk who said that it must have been left open for service to the room. This of course was unacceptable. We feel lucky that none of our belongings were stolen.
