Not a good experience
Pros:

Rooms are large.

Cons:

Everything is old. Bathroom is ancient, there is no bottled water in the rooms or for purchase (there were two vending machines, but both were out of bottled water), and there’s nothing nearby - not a gas station, a convenience store, nothing. Breakfast was very poor and the coffee smelled so bad. And all that for more than $180 per night, which is unacceptable.

Despite a few hiccups, the staff tried to make things right and maintained a positive attitude.
Pros:

Staff was extremely friendly and did what they could to accommodate me once my cable tv went out by changing my room.

Cons:

My cale television and phone service went out in my room. Only the phone issue got resolved and I had to switch rooms and buildings. Also the room was not ready on my arrival.

nice and relaxing
Pros:

Receptionist was awesome. she shared the history of the motel and told me about the bricks and stone. even showed me the ball room! I will definitely stay there again. And a real breakfast was an added bonus since I eat high protein and low carbs. Also loved the pool area.

Cons:

Need direction signs pointing to the office at various points from Rt 60. I stopped at each building before I drove all the way to the back and saw the portico.

Pros:

Excellent room for physically challenged people...especially the walk-in/ride-in shower.

Cons:

There was nothing that I didn't like about the accommodations. However, I could have used a little bit of instruction of the proper way to use the walk-in shower.

Overall very pleasant experience would go back again.
Pros:

Breakfast was really good. Quality and service was wonderful.

Cons:

Looks like they are repairing things so not that I didn't like it but that they should continue with the repairs they are making. Ceilings in bathrooms have some cracking.

All in all, we really enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

The breakfast was awesome.
Front desk gals were very friendly.

Cons:

We were disappointed there was not an inside pool. It had been advertised that there was one.
We had a problem with our toilet where the tank wouldn't fill up with water.
There was some mold on the grout in the bathtub and there were no drain stoppers in either the sink or tub.

Not a fan!
Pros:

Breakfast was good.

Cons:

People slamming doors and children running up and down the hall half a night. Did not have good signs on the main road to guide you to the property. Completely missed the turn off even with GPS. Hygiene products were smelly and cheap!

We were very disappointed, the booking rating was very good, but it doesn’t deserve this rating at all
Pros:

The staff is very nice, large rooms.

Cons:

This hotel needs an overhaul, it is old and in disarray. The bathroom was in terrible state. The fridge in the room was old/ rusty and making a buzzing noise. The parking was next to a trailer park.
