Staff very friendly an helpful. Excellent breakfast. Suggestion: make the bar available for guests. Maybe instead of hiring a bartender use existing staff to serve guests like 7 to 9 in the evenings.

Nice Staff

Staff were very professional, pleasant, and helpful. Staff really stood out with their exceptional service (1 per shift). Had cute fireplace (wish they were on) in lounging area, library, and other common room. Breakfast was simple but good. Bed comfortable. Daughter loved whirlpool. Staff recommended Sloan Streak House, which we really enjoyed. Pool not available - heard it has been that way for a long time. Ice dispenser room dirty on 2nd floor. Old rotten banana peel on the floor and turning into a liquid. Overall good experience. Would recommend better cleaning in all areas and using your enticing resources, such as the fireplaces, which make the atmosphere more warming and inviting. Would definitely stay again.

Front desk attendant was extremely kind and accomodating. Lamp in room had light bulb that flickered and died within first 2 min of being in room. There was police presence and the ultimately arrested 2 people on my floor for having warrants. Carpets in hall are dingy and the halls poorly lit. Pool was out of order. The tub jets in bathroom were off color yellow and looked old or outdated. To sleep...ok. Not a place I would choose as a getaway or vacation or special occasion at all.
