Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities

The staff was not knowledgeable about the amenities on the property. Asked the front desk for directions to the nightclub and after hiking clear to the other side of the property, found the nightclub to be closed. Returned to front desk and was told that they didnt know the what days and hours they were open. What a waste of time! The rooms (I booked 2) were sub par. Broken and missing shelves in bathrooms. Walls had scuff marks and looked dirty. We felt like we were staying in a cheap motel while paying the price for a nice hotel. The hotel grounds and building exteriors are in need of serious work. At check out we voiced concerns about our stay, only to be met with a rude and nasty staff member. Her attitude was of someone that didn't like her job and could care less about hotel guests. After listening to some of our concerns, she got very nasty. We then asked to speak to a manager and after being made to wait, we were greeted with someone that we think was pretending to be a manager. We expressed our frustrations only to be met with a series of "I'm sorrys" and "you're rights". I have stayed here many, many times years ago. It is so sad to see how far this resort has fallen. We will NEVER stay here again!!

This is listed as a 4 star property, but it was built in the '60s and despite attempts to renovate the facility looks/feels tired. The doorways are narrow, there are multiple levels to get from point A to Point B. I can't imagine it ever being handicapped accessible. Wallpaper is patched, modern bath is tiny and sink splashes everywhere. Staff was very friendly, the grounds are obviously beautiful in season. But at best, this is a 3 star accommodation.
