The roof leaked at 2 in the morning. The night auditor's first solution was to give us a bucket to catch the water and towels to soak up the mess on the floor. (Thank goodness the overhead light didn't work because the water came in through it, which could be a fire hazard.) The floor was stained black in places,... More

Hi, we recently had our roof redone. Work was finished two days prior to your arrival. Unfortunately we had to find the hard way in the middle of a storm watch that the job was not done correctly. Company has been contacted and are re doing it. Having said that , please note that the General Manager was contacted right... More

This hotel was actually okay, until the hotel decided to charge my credit card for a non plausible reason two days after I checked out - I also sent several emails directly to the hotel and requested an explanation for the additional charge, however, the hotel has not bothered to respond back and I have had to contact my bank...

Apologies for any misunderstandings. The only additional charges that you might have had after check out are related to minibar consumption. Sometimes the person that controls the minibars in all our rooms enters the room after you checked out. If nobody else has checked into that room since you left, your credit card on file gets charged for any missing... More

You know, the place really wasn't that bad. The rooms are clean but old, the beds are nothing fancy but they work, and the porch is great for sitting and having drinks after midnight and people watching. The main issue we had was with this one particular front desk person who unfortunately seems to work there every day during the... More

I use tripadvisor all the time before I book my hotels and blame myself for not checking this one. I have never left a review myself, but felt that I needed to leave a review for this particular hotel. I would not want anyone else to waste their money at this place. The hotel's website is very misleading. The only... More

I stayed here in February during the wine and food festival with several of my other friends. As mentioned in other reviews, this place is over-priced, filthy and the rooms and bathrooms are very small. Some things to point out: 1) The A/C vents were not cleaned, so we would have dirt all over our bed. 2) The bathroom ceiling... More

I made the mistake of booking this hotel and ignoring the bad reviews. Thought that it couldn't be that bad since there have been some good reviews. I had to check out ASAP it was that bad. Had to stay 1 night and don't know how we managed to do it! The whole hotel including the room smells musty. Also... More
