Great service.

This is a nice little hotel with really wonderful staff. The pool is small and near the road, not very private; so if that is important you you this may not be the place for you. The room was very quite and clean, the location is very convenient and easy to walk around from. The breakfast options are minimal, but there is always coffee available.

Did not like having to dodge goose poop all over the parking lot. Stepped in some! Yuck! But it was nice to sit in the rocking chairs and watch them in the creek. Love the creek, love the location. Love the fruit water, coffee, and tea availabe 24/7. Staff super friendly and helpful from housekeeping to check in/out.
