Stayed 5 nights

I stayed 1 night of 5. It looked quaint and decently priced. Parking is a drive into semi open parking space for one car. No visitors is posted, but not posted in the listing. The office has a ring camera and a partition like a bank. It gave unsafe vibes. The room is dated. The sheets were stained. I used my own blanket. The tv cords are jumbled behind the hanging tv, but visible and it looks dangerous to me. The bathroom is white tile, so keeping that really clean is probably difficult, BUT the shower curtain had mold on the bottom. It did have decent hot water. Taking a shower I discovered what looked like a roach crawling down the wall. I don't do bugs. I contacted hotels.com that I wanted out. The customer service was helpful. They told me to advise the hotel. I didn't want another room, they are all attached in a letter U shape. Where there is one, there are more. I do realize I was in the woods, but unclean, electrically unsafe and then bugs. NO. The woman wanted to see my pictures, it was only one bug she said, they don't have a problem in the woods, the cords are fine behind the tv and she had nothing to say about the mold and stained sheets other than to try to offer me another room and insultingly ask if I had ever stayed at a hotel before. Oh wow! Yes, yes I have. When I pay for one it is supposed to be clean. Dated is what it is, but you keep up with clean. I said I wanted and was eventually given a refund. Of course it took a few days to process.

Although the property is showing it's age, there was nothing else to complain about. The staff were very helpful friendly, and the room was clean, and the bed extremely comfortable!!

Everything was clean & there were no discernible smells. The pillows were great & the staff was helpful. Stayed mid-July 2026. The only co.plaonty bf had was that the lighting in the bathroom made shaving difficult. I have no complaints about the bathroom.
