Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Location to pond was nice. The room was very disappointing. If you sat on the end of the bed, the mattress was so thin that it came off the frame. When you entered into the room, it had a bad odor. When I booked the room through expedia, it stated that it had a microwave and it didn't. It also did not hava a coffee maker. We (2 people) stayed for 2 nights, and we were given two full sized towels and two washcloths, so we had to reuse the towels. For the price I paid for this room it should have been more accomadating and updated!
