The Jesse James Suite At the HCL

.

Pictures definitely did justice for the place. If you are looking for a nice place to stay like a 5 star this is not it. We stayed for a fishing trip and it was perfect for that. The host was very friendly and accommodating.

Nice place to stay. Shower was small for sure. But we mainly just slept there.

I did have some concerns during my visit. Upon arrival, the room was a bit warm, but that was manageable. The main issue I faced was the cleanliness of the property. Unfortunately, I encountered several spots around the grounds where there was old dog waste, which my one dog stepped on and the other dog tried to eat it. I was very concerned about the health risks this posed to them. In addition, I noticed some dog kibble scattered in the grass pass, possibly from a previous dog's vomit(?), which again raised concerns for my pup, especially since he's on a very specific veterinary diet.What was most upsetting, however, was the message I received from the owner requesting that I pick up my dog's waste. While I understand the importance of maintaining a clean property, I was surprised and disappointed by the tone of the message. There are signs clearly indicating the use of video surveillance, so had the video been reviewed, it would have shown that I consistently cleaned up after my dogs. In fact, I was careful to dispose of all waste in the small garbage can near the front office.The tone of the message came across as rude and accusatory, which left me feeling frustrated and ultimately led me to leave earlier than planned so I would not stay here again.For future guests and to ensure that everyone can properly dispose of waste, I would recommend adding more trash cans throughout the property, as there was only one small metal bin near the front office.
