The place was good. When we got to our room we found 2 stink bugs in the riom, no other issues at all.
The location could not be beat, we parked our car and did not move it until we left, room was great, continental breakfast was great, and Jim at the front desk had the best customer service! I HIGHLY recommend this place and would definitely come back!

Our stay as fine until 7:30am on Monday, the day we were checking out. We were woken up by what sounded like a herd of elephants dancing on the roof. Our top floor room was literally shaking. When I called the front desk, a lady told me that the roof was being replaced and that they weren’t supposed to start until 11:00 (checkout time), but the manager told them to come earlier. We were never notified about the construction. Had we been notified, I would have stayed somewhere else so we could enjoy sleeping in on our vacation. Due to the noise, we were forced to get up early and checkout early. I feel like they should have notified guests that there would be construction going on so that guests could make an informed decision as to whether they wanted to be scared awake or stay somewhere else where they could enjoy the room they rented.
No they did roof repairs on the building that we stayed in and the shingles fell off the roof on to our car we were woke up this morning bye construction workers working on the roof sounded like the building was going to fall down go outside see the shingles on my car go to the office to complain and he tells me that because it's enough season they were trying to fix the roof we should have been told so we could move our cars and we could have been prepared to be woke up by hammering and work on the roof they totally ruined our vacation
Extremely disappointing stay. Location and hotel was fine. The TV had only a firestick. Couldn't see any news local or national. Lame choices. Almost didn't survive, After a long day of enjoying the area you want to relax and nope! Basically no TV for $100 per night.
