"I would come back to this inn. It smells amazing, staff is friendly, place is clean. Only thing is the bath towels were old some had stains and holes."
"No one was there for 30 minutes to check us in. The door was locked after a 22 hour day and we called IHG they kept calling to no answer. Someone finally drove up and let us in never apologized and had bad attitude. This is unacceptable. The next morning the same person the next morning said they comped our room and I never got the refund. This was an awful birthday experience for me, and my wife."
"There was a brown/reddish stain on the mattress cover, fitted sheet, and top sheet. The front desk did give us new bedding. However, bedding should never be stained and should be discarded if so. Poor housekeeping and poor quality assurance is what I experienced. Disappointed to say the least."
"The staff were very friendly . The room was spotless and super comfortable bed. The bar area was lovely as was the pool area . Only one small issue .. when went for breakfast the coffee machine wasn’t working and there was no bread for toast ."
