Billed for no-show
If you make an appointment and try to cancel before you arrive, they will still bill you for the stay. Go across the street their a much better group of people.

This is my second stay, and it is every bit as good as the first. The rooms are well appointed and very comfortable, the tavern is fantastic, and the staff are wonderful as well. An awesome place to stay, especially after a long day on the road

Very modest property. Ice cold air conditioning and comfortable bed. Otherwise, nothing special. No morning coffee or staff anywhere in sight upon checking out.
