It seems like there were two separate sections. We felt we were in the older section.
BE AWARE if you book through Hotels.com The Inn at 1252 charges $10 (not sure if it’s per night) fir parking.

DO NOT STAY HERE
Avoid staying here whenever possible this is a BAD business. They attempted to charge a deposit without asking my permission after I had already checked in, but luckily my card was turned off and for the next three days they called my hotel room every five minutes asking for a deposit when I finally said yes I would literally walk in the room and they would call the phone and say you need to straighten your car parking job Not to mention they charge $11 to park in their parking lot even if it’s empty and you’re there that’s like Walmart charging you to park and then you go in Walmart to spend money. It just doesn’t make sense.

Nice room for family of 4
The room was clean and roomy.
It was a nice convenient one story hotel.
The grounds were pretty and staff friendly.
The beds were just so uncomfortable no us but we can’t do firm beds. I also did not like that they charge for parking

We had an issue which was clarified by Expedia which was an error on their side not the hotel. I would stay here again in a heart beat. I would book the hotel directly instead of going thru Expedia so you do not have to pay for parking. 10 out of 10 for everything

The glass door to the bathroom was good quality just not a good idea. No privacy. I had to leave the room when my wife wanted to use the bathroom. Paying for parking is just a tax and they are able to show a lower price on the room. Also WE DID NOT APPRECIATE the text at 802 am to remind us that " Your departure is coming up at...." No sh.. let us sleep in and enjoy our vacation!!!!! We know when we have to leave.
