Very old and outdated. Poor breakfast choices. Bathroom was dirty. Would not offer an upgrade in room unless I paid over 50 dollars a night extra. Needed a different room because my husband had back surgery and there is no elevator there and could not do the stairs.

Staff cool and distant. Coffee like water and hotel needs a good inside upgrade. The hotel’s outside structure is appealing so why not the inside? Not what we envisioned when we booked our stay there, given the name of their town.

The check-in process was the easiest I have seen in a long time. The room was welcoming as was the lodge. The pool area was well kept for the use we saw there. Great for an overnight stay with a good breakfast. It was off-season so I assume they have more available in high season. Although, I was traveling with no kids and did not check out the recreation room and other offers.

We visited after Thanksgiving and expected it to be very festive. The hotel is very clean, but outdated. The mattresses were very uncomfortable in the family suite. Everything about the place is outdated. The breakfast was very limited and the conference room for extra seating was very cold. The pool area was kept clean, except for the spa was pretty dirty. Check-in was easy and friendly for the price of the family suite I was quite disappointed in the lack of comfort and that there wasn’t even a smart TV. The walls were also very thin and we could hear everything going on in the other rooms.
