This was a very pleasant stay for us. It is an older hotel, and the pool was out of commission (as listed). The room smelled a little bit too much like cleaning fluids, but other than that it was very clean and pleasant. The owners were extremely nice and accommodating, and they were understanding when the kids that were traveling with us dropped a box of muffins. The provided continental breakfast was modest but fresh, and we appreciated the very clean facilities. We would be very happy to stay here again.

Sheets had very obvious stains and crusty spots on comforter that we did not use. Floors were dirty as well. Heater/ac made a sound like a cow mooing every 10 minutes and everyone that stayed in room was sick for 4 days after stay...
