The hotel is beautiful. The room was lovely and clean, but the bed was rock hard. The breakfast hot foods were cold, and several people tried to find someone to fill the waffle batter, but no one was at the front desk for about an hour. I just left my key cards in the box after waiting. It really was a lovely place, though, and clean.

Night staff turned on the lights so I could go swimming as it was still pool hours. Also an extra feature I was not aware is that there was a nice place to sit and look at the small pond that was connected to my room.

Spiders, killed 2. Breakfast - guessing the quality is standard for a BW, but then I dont normally stay at a BW. We only chose this hotel bc it was a college fb weekend and this was the closest hotel (30 min away) we could find at a "reasonable" price. Some lightbulbs out. Door jam lock was broken. No maid service unless requested. Side door taped over, so dn require a key. The best part of the hotel was the scenery out the back window of a wooded creek...which was probably the source of the spiders, but it was pretty. Room coffee bad, but they had a kureg with Starbucks k cups in the lobby
