First of all, the property was beautiful. The staff were all very nice. There was no mention of not having a parking lot for the hotel. There was a parking lot next to the hotel. We checked in and was in the room for just over an hour and was charged $20 to get out of the lot. Then was charged $35 when we checked out the next morning. Seems excessive to have to pay $20 every time we would want to leave the lot, even though we were staying the night. The room was beautifully decorated. However, there was an overwhelming smell of moth balls. It was difficult to sleep with that smell and everything I ate or drank tasted like moth balls. My son used the pull out couch. When I pulled it out the sheet was on top of the blanket, which leads me to believe it had not been changed after the last guest. When I pulled down the blankets to get in bed, there was hair on the sheets. The vending machine was all out of drinks and only had 5 options for snacks…..I was happy to have had nice staff and a beautiful setting, but the smell of moth balls all night and the fact that I slept on top of the bed because of the hair in the bed I was a bit cold…
