Manilla Vacation Rentals

"Great hotel. Not a fan of buffet, liked it better as an à la carte restaurant."

"Parking was good"

"Excellent"

"Hotels.com photos are a sham showing a Victorian-era type house, & nice enough rooms. In reality, there’s a motel strip attached to this house & a 2-storey detached building behind with a carport. We stayed in room 110. We were going to a concert & running late for its 7:30 start; just enough time to drop off our bags & grab a bite to eat. As soon as we opened the doors to the back building, this most disgusting disturbing odor wafted us. It stunk as if we were immersed in a septic tank. Fortunately our room was the first door on the left. We went inside, dropped off the bags, turned up the heat & left. We were hopeful that the outside hallway smell wasn’t going to infiltrate our room. We weren’t there long enough to distinguish whether the smell was from the outside or in our room. The inside of the bathroom door had remnants of dark stains on it & the ceilings were so low, very reminiscent of a cheap hotel. After the concert, as the room warmed up, the stench was worse, seeping through the bottom gap of the door. Disgustedly we sat on the bed without taking off our concert clothes, too concerned if we were going to bring more than just the smell home, trying to figure out if we should drive 2 hours to get home at this time of night. We decided to go home & give up the $180 the room cost us. This “Inn” should not be on hotels.com. We thought we were booking a quaint hotel in a town. We booked early-dec2-had tons of options. We deserve a refund for total misrepresentation."

"Convenience loaction, but room was ok"

"Unfortunately it was first day reopening and a lot of problems were not resolved. The ice maker was out of service. No Wifi so Tv didn’t work. No Robes, No Hot tub, lights out in the pool so we assumed unavailable too. The mini fridge and blow dryer didn’t work. Room was not the cleanest. Still shaving cream and stubble in sink from previous guest. restaurant’s staff and food was good, but very slow to come out of the kitchen. The only reason I booked there was for the beautiful spa. I scheduled a massage for my husband’s birthday gift and was so disappointed when the manager informed us our appointment was not going to happen because of car trouble. I informed the manager of my dissatisfaction before we left and she didn’t seem to care at all. It’s sad really there is so much potential for this beautiful historical property. Regretting booking at The Briars Resort, I really wish I had spent my time and money elsewhere."

"Laurie and Brooks were excellent hosts, and we had excellent communication before, during and after our stay. They went above and beyond to meet our groups needs and we had an amazing weekend. The animals are adorable and we took full advantage of the farm fresh eggs each morning. The house is full of charm and beautifully decorated. Would definitely recommend and hope to return! "

"Clean. Flooring is like... loose? it's acceptable for the cheapest place in town. The parking lot (Canada in winter) was mostly plowed, with a truck that seems to be a permanent fixture, if I had a trailer I couldn't have even pulled in. Tiniest room I've ever stayed in, but since I was alone it was acceptable. Bathroom was excellent. Heating was either too hot or too cold, it was -12 the night I stayed, so maybe the small radiant heat on the outer wall was freaking out due to the extreme temp? Overall I'd say it was fine, checking in was actually the best experience with a simple code to open the door, I arrived late at night and didn't need to deal with anyone, just walked up and went in with my code. . Two hangers on the short wall, since it was winter I had a heavy coat to hang, so a multiple day stay would have been a pain with no place to put luggage other than the rack in the corner. So... not the nicest place ever, not the worst, overall good experience at a fair price for the area."
