Very clean property excellent. The bed mattress was roll to the middle horrible. The pillows were limited to 1for each person and were hard as a brick and flat as a pancake. Too bad. The property is in excellent condition. Need new beds.

I personally would like thinner pillows. There was a sign in the dining area about using the pancake machine but I didn't see a pancake machine. Just minor quibbles. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to our early arrival especially. We would be happy to stay there again.

When u arrived i had to call the front desk twice. No one showed up for about 3 minutes after the 2nd ring. Then the next morning I go get cofee. 3 carafes were empty, again i go to the front desk to see if they can make more. No one around. I waited for a few minutes. No one!! It gets frustrating when you pay for service and there is no one around to help!

Helpful staff. Clean Rooms. Good basic breakfast items in the morning. One thing to note, Make sure you get to a restaurant or a bar before 8:30 pm to eat. Pocahontas does not have many restaurants that serve food late. After 9:30 pm on a Saturday night the only option i could find was Caseys to order a pizza.
