We recently gave a review that we do not want public! It needs to be deleted. It was a true statement and the experience was bad at your hotel but we do not want anything from our review public!!!!!!!!

We were not given a discount even though we were with the Dr Michael Abercrombie wedding party. That was the first thing. Next we found blood on one top sheet a mixtture of blood and poop. The other sheets looked as if it has shoe marks or shoe polish on it. Soap had melted in the shower from the last people that stayed and the other bathroom soap area was also filthy. We were extremely disappointed.Next the door would had to be worked on by maintainance because it would not shut. The first night we were not safe becaue the door would not shut. I wish I had something, anything good to say. but I do not. This was supposed to be one of the greatest weekends of our lives and it was horrible. We would never recommend your hotel. Your food is not included or your parking. We travel constantly and stay in beautiful hotels that have both free breakfast and parking. What a horrible experiece. We will never return. Just in case, I made a video and pictures of all of these problems!

Overall Score3.0/ 5
I think the price was too high for this hotel. They need to add amenities to the room. A plastic cup or just a cup in the bathroom would have been welcomed. The breakfast buffet had powdered eggs which was not a good idea for a hotel with business clients traveling there.

Overall Score4.0/ 5
We thoroughly enjoyed our three day stay. Very comfortable beds with top quality linens and pillows. Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautifully decorated with a lovely pool area in a courtyard which is very nicely landscaped. We will be back!
