Just okay

We arrived late and were exhausted. We were checked in quickly and with friendly service. However, there was a black curly hair in the sink and several long hairs on the shower walls. Additionally, we just wanted to watch TV to unwind before bed but the remote wasn’t working (the button lit up when we pressed it but the TV wasn’t responding). We searched for an on button on the TV itself for several minutes before giving up. Knowing it would be a service call and take time to get it working, we opted to go to bed without calling for service.

The cleaners sprayed some sort of freshener that was over powering in the room. Keep the window wide open and bathroom fan on. Took a couple hours to air out. No complementary coffee. Asked the front desk and was told there was a coffee machine in room. Not in my room. Front desk person just game me a shoulder shrug. Room was outdated. Grounds were beautiful and peaceful. Will not stay there again.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and comfort in our room and the ease of checking in. The rooms are spacious and the fact that the location is set back from the main road allowed easy driving access and quiet atmosphere. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful.
