Free breakfast had rotting fruit, tastless coffee and nothing nutritious (maybe cheerios) Tangled up hose in front of my room door , dirty outline of what once may have been a door mat, dead plants all over grounds. Hope the owners are OK?

Even though i checked in at 1:00, i was told that the groundfloor pet room I'd reserved was not available. I agreed to take the "reserve" room, undesirable because it was next to the highway. I didnt mind the traffic noise, but the room wasnt clean and smelled bad, and the floor had bits of trash on it. ,,

The only problem we had is they say, on Expedia, that there is a laundry but there is NOT! That's the main reason we picked it. If we had known it didn't have one we would have chosen a different place.

The room was old and dark with only one table lamp to light the space. The bed was uncomfortable. However, on a positive note it was very clean.
