My husband and I stayed there for 12 days and on day two our oven caught on fire and then day three caught on fire again when we weren’t even using it and was pouring propane out of it gas oven that they have in a 300 square-foot room. My child was extremely unsafe and apparently a woman called me and spoke to me and told me that she was going to help us move rooms and no one from the hotel ever contacted us again the entire stay. None of you were concerned with our safety when we paid you $1700 including a pet fee for your extremely nasty unsafe disgusting hotel. We will never stay there again, and we will never recommend it and we will only talk bad about your hotel!

Went with a group of friends for the weekend. There was not much to rave about. A few of the people I went with had issues with their rooms. All I can say is it was just a place to stay, would definitely not go back.

We send an email that we would be arriving late from Virginia. We came down to fish. The wind was rolling with 35 mph gusts. Still, we fished. It wasn't the Ritz, but it was cozy. We will definity check here for rooms first.
