"My husband and I stayed here for a staycation for our anniversary. The carpets and furniture had stains. Our free breakfast I paid for was not on the reservation. When I called to find out where to park, no one answered the phone. Would not stay here again."

Very basic bathroom amenities, charge for parking even though it's way out of town in a cheap area. They charge the same as Peabody which is much better. ..."
