Horrible time, go anywhere instead

The stay was not what we were expecting at all. We went valentine’s day weekend in hopes to have a relaxing mini engagement celebration. The hot tub did not work. The pool was not and had not been cleaned it what looked like weeks. We chose this specific stay to enjoy the water and have drinks. We instead stayed in, tried to order room service for over an hour with no one answering. We tried calling for the front desk and after no response for more than 45 min I get a call explaining that there is only one receptionist (for more than 12 hours) and that the kitchen was now closed.

Not a typical hotel

Not fun lugging our bags to check in and being told that we should drive around (although they offered to have someone carry them). Also, getting charged to park there seemed a little off, though staff said, "All the hotels charge for parking." No information offered as to any amenities the hotel had, like an ice machine or vending machines etc. Hmmm. I'd rather stay at a simpler hotel with a free breakfast included.

Enjoyed our stay.

Room 157 was a very comfy and spacious room. Extremely comfortable king size bed and linens. Spacious bathroom with robes. Shower had plenty of water pressure. Had a fridge and Keurig coffeemaker, no microwave. Breakfast was plentiful with hot entrees as well as continental items. Breakfast was available till 11am on the weekend. We weren't hot on the sausages but the bacon was fine. Only negative would be the sound that travelled through the connecting doors. There were 2 sets of connecting doors in that room, one to the room on the right the other for the one on the left. If we should be in that area again, we would staying there again.
