I like where the property was located, kind of central to many different things. I loved the large porch where you could sit in the rockers and I loved the entertainment that they provided on the front porch.

Great location and staff but the hotel is dated and the mattress in our room was horrible. You can definitely tell the mattress was old and it needs to be replaced.

Room was clean, bed was comfortable, staff was friendly, breakfast was delicious. The only down side was probably to be expected in an older hotel: limited parking, room smelled musty, carpet was old.

Annual Family Vacation

This year our stay was wonderful as usual with a couple minor hiccups. In our 1st room the drain in the shower and sink was extremely slow and in both rooms the AC didn't work properly. Other than that, the staff was amazing and I'd like to point out Mya in particularly and ALL the house keeping staff! Thank you for another wonderful stay and we'll see you again next year!

The breakfast we felt was not as good as before covid. We have stayed there twice and we like it, bed being comfortable and the bathroom was updated. But we do need more amenities like a refrigerator in our room. We need more for our money. We do love the big front porch with the rockers. So relaxing.
