Cons:

The room feels wet. Does not smell like mold but I am sure it can’t take long before it is moldy. The rug feels very wet.

I very much enjoyed my stay at Casablanca and I would definitely come back again!
Pros:

It had a very cool older, beachy vibe. Loved and enjoyed the fountain in the courtyard!

Cons:

My only complaint is that the carpet in our room needed a professional cleaning. It made the bottom of my socks dirty. Needs more than vacuuming.

Fun weekend with our dog
Pros:

Breakfasts were included and we really liked having a server so that other guests didn't take all the sausage, bagels, etc to have at home. We liked the tables on the shaded patio. Room was very clean and comfortable altho we didn't spend a lot of daytime there. Location is north of town but not far from anything. We prefer a quiet location like this.

Cons:

Can't think of anything. We like quaint!

We do 2-3 road trips a year and this was the friendliest staff we have ever had!
Pros:

Excellent location.
Very friendly staff

Cons:

We added an extra night onto our stay as we arrived earlier than expected. We were in a newer or more recently renovated room, it was very nice but no microwave.
We had to move rooms on day two and while the room was nice the curtains were so old they were fraying. The carpet was so dirty the when I got out of the shower and walked across the carpet my feet were filthy from the rug. The beds in both rooms were very comfortable.

It was pleasant. Did not want to stay too much time in the rooms.
Pros:

The location is amazing.
