The tv was not working upon check in. There was no HDMI cable connecting the cable box to the TV. The outlet in the bathroom wasn't working. The GFI kept tripping if you plugged anything in it...even the nightlight that the hotel had caused the GFI to trip. The breakfast was late opening on Saturday by ten minutes and the staff working the breakfast were rude and unapologetic about it being late.

THE WORST STAFF! The hotel looks like it would be a nice stay, until you meet the staff. I have never been treated so rudely in my life. DO NOT pay for the breakfast! The one day we actually got food it was 3 eggs that looked like soup. The other days they said they were out of food (after we waited for 45 min). The toiletries are completely empty in the room. When you ask if they can get filled, no one ever comes. The 6th time I asked both on the phone and in person, the front desk yelled at me "if you want them, then you can come to the desk and get them yourself!". I had already been to the desk twice that day. Seriously, the rudest staff I have ever experienced. It is not worth it. Stay somewhere that at least has some kind of customer service!

A beautiful quiet and relaxing place

The Hotel was beautiful the service was great but the garbage was overflowing and all the ice machines were broken and one of the stalls in the bathroom was broken. Overall it was nice and will certainly come back because of the service.

Rooms are clean, the lighting in the bathrooms are dim, this place does have roaches. The in-house bar needs a bartender, he don’t know the difference between bourbon and vodka, like it’s his first day being around alcohol, nothing is close by within walking distance for eating or shopping, you have to drive to get anything since this place is hidden in the woods a mile and a half. EV charging is for other EVs other that a Tesla so make sure you have an adaptor and they charge .50 an hour and it’s a very slow charger

Great staff, smelly room

The staff were wonderful and everything else was just fine except that our room smelled strangely of cat pee. I kid you not. I informed the desk and they said they’d make a note of it. We didn’t notice the smell anywhere else but our room and the carpet was wet as though they’d just given it a rather vigorous bath. Again, nice hotel and great staff but the room odor was pretty bad. Even if you like cats, that’s not something you want in life. Just saying.

My daughter had one wish for her 4th birthday: to stay in a hotel. I chose this one because of the indoor pool and the inviting outdoor space by the pond — and I’m so glad we did. Was it perfect? No. The indoor pool area could use some upgrades — safer, less slippery floors, actual pool towels, and better air circulation to cut the humidity (and the echo, which was real 😅). But the room was clean, the bed was super comfortable, and most importantly, it gave my kids space to laugh, splash, and play without bothering anyone else. They had a blast swimming while it stormed outside and then frog-hunting by the pond when the skies cleared. But what made our stay truly memorable was Julia, a kind and observant housekeeper we met in passing. She noticed it was my daughter’s birthday — and later came back to gift her $5, explaining someone had left her a tip and she wanted to “gift Kayte what she had been gifted.” That simple, selfless gesture blew me away. What a beautiful moment of kindness from a complete stranger — to a four-year-old, no less. That experience alone earns this hotel a 5/5 in my book. We’ll definitely be back for another local staycation.
