Room was very small. Checkin was across the street at a hotel by another name. Otherwise breakfast was good and service was good.

Nice Stay
Actually were giving a room at Villa Rosa across the street and under same management. It is an older facility with dated furniture but clean and comfortable; lots of nice tile work.

Don't Stay Here or at the Villa Rosa Inn
The Manager of this hotel is absolutely horrible. I made a mistake on my booking, and Tia the- manager was abhorrent to talk to, very condescending and badgering with no empathy (and I'm the customer). I truly feel sorry for the staff that has to work under this lady.

2/10 Poor

HORRIFIC!! DON'T BOOK!! AVOID MELODY AT ALL COSTS!
I can't emphasize enough how awful every aspect of our stay was at this hotel. We arrived an hour past check in. We had to wait for 30 minutes to talk to anyone only to find out our room was not ready and we were given no timeline for when it would be ready. When we finally got in 30 minutes later it was still being cleaned. After housekeeping left we found streaks of mud on the floor and huge cobwebs by the bed and in the bathroom. There were no paper towels, minimal toilet paper, no dish soap (in full kitchen), no coffee maker, and only 1 towel for 2 people for a 3 day stay. The microwave was on top of the fridge and the cord was not long enough to plug in. There was no phone in the room to call front desk. The worst part was the service from one employee named Melody. I walked to the office to report concerns and she told me she could not help me because she had to clean up happy hour. I called her later to inform her of the problems. She became very defensive. She finally consented to waive the pet fees and bring us supplies. She never showed up. The only time she called was to say our dogs were barking when we had been in the room with them for hours and they were not barking. At checkout I was assured by another employee that we would not be charged pet fees. We were charged pet fees and an additional mystery charge. We called to address issue. Within 2 sentences, Melody hung up on us. No one will pick up when we call back. We will be reporting fraud to our cc company.

First time there. I requested a room for 5 people which would include two queen beds and 1 king bed. I was placed in a different room that I didn’t request. The front desk was able to give me just a small refund. It was over priced for just having two queen beds.

2/10 Poor

Filthy room. Didn’t stay.
My room was not clean. Empty alcohol bottles everywhere and sheets in a dirty bundle on the bed. The facility offered a less nice room in hotel across the street which had dirty sheets. Left, and hotel is completely non-responsive to hotels.com and me in response to my request for a refund. Had to pay for a more expensive room and parking and breakfast were extra, and I’m still waiting on my money back from this facility.

We loved the location. But checking in is not on the property. But across the street with no clue as to what building that may be. Also one window did not have a curtain. Had to use a towel to block out the lights at night.
