Disliked: Cleanliness
Room and property is very old with attempt at some renovations but still obviously old with paint chipping noticed all over. Our room was very dusty. Housekeeping serviced our room on day 2 and only made the bed...i guess they didnt notice dusty nightstands as both were srill dusty after housekeeping service. Ice machine on our floor not operational. Women's restroom in lobby out of order throughout our stay. Housekeeping staff took over breakfast area just before 930 with their loud conservations and locked door (while we were still eating), like this was their private break room. Wifi was terribly slow and I couldnt even get enough speed to check email, let alone work.

Booked a last minute reservation due to some work being done at the house. The website said there was a hot tub. When we arrived, we were informed it was not working. This should have been listed on the website. I would not have booked
