I had high hopes as this was a family member’s favorite place to stay in years past. My family has stayed at a different (franchise) place in years past so I was looking forward to something a little more upscale. So let’s begin with what I liked. It is a pretty place, the staff is friendly and the cookies, coffee and tea offered in the lobby were a nice touch. It is close to the shuttle drop for the Thursday night Farmer’s Market too. The bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately, we got a room that was in what my husband called the basement (level below ground) that was dark and smelled musty. The shutters on the window were broken. They were putting new carpeting on the lobby stairs when we checked in, so there is some upkeep happening so maybe they just hadn’t gotten to the lower level rooms for upkeep. I also did not like that after booking this place, we were charged $15 per night to park (open parking lot that includes their restaurant parking) plus a resort fee (I do not like resort fees and find them disingenuous to the consumer as if the price of the room is not sufficient to cover the amenities, like the pool which we did not use).
