Used to like this hotel.

When we were checking we were told our hotel room was at another hotel a mile up the road. I said no, I reserved a room here and confirmed the address. I told them I was not informed of a hotel change and that I could not stay at a different hotel because we had side by sides. So they put us in a room where we reserved one. Hot tub was out of order. The next day our door opens and it’s the housekeeper and she apologizes and says she didn’t know anyone was in the room because it was listed as out of order. There were pubic hairs on our toilet seat and the steps to go upstairs were filthy dirty. Then we discovered our tub didn’t drain properly. The breakfast was awful. Hard boiled eggs were like rubber, waffles didn’t cook all the way but were left in the pan the allotted time, the cereal was stale and the bagel my daughter had was stale. The coffee was decent. We’ve stayed here the last couple years and it had been nice. Woot stay here again.

Unacceptable.

For starters, we waited a half hour to get checked in. The guy behind the counter was very old and seemed to be struggling with checking people in. He also wasn’t very personable. Never looked up to say hi to anybody. Our room smelled moldy. Our bathroom smelled like urine. There is no coffee in the rooms, I went to the front desk to ask for some took him 20 minutes to look throughout the hotel for some, then the cleaning lady said they ordered some but it was not here yet. The hot tub was not in service that was not mentioned online. This was something we were looking forward to after a very long bike trip. I would expect such service if this was a low budget hotel, totally unacceptable!!!!!

As I was taking a shower, something popped and the lights in the room went out. The GFI circuit popped. We were able to turn it back on but the bathroom light did not work after that. Went to the front desk but could not find anyone. Breakfast is extremely limited - 2 cereals, bread and waffles. No front desk person to be found at check out either.

Outdated. For the price point, the room should be in better shape. Realize for $116 a room & with tax/fees for 2 rooms was $298 in a vacation town, it was run down. Bed was uncomfortable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff, specifically front desk was absolutely clueless to our checking in. Two other guests were also attempting to check in as well. None of us could get checked in until another staff member showed up who had a better communication skill in speaking English. Checkin process took 45 minutes and then when we entered the room it was 56 degrees with the windows frosted over and mold in the bathroom. The single cleaning woman was being verbally abused by the other two desk staff. The cleaning woman was obviously scared and we noticed that she lived in one of the rooms with her small child. This cleaning woman attempted to help securing another room for us which was equally not up to normal hotel standards. This hotel was such a disaster that we immediately proceeded to our car, disregarding the $220 room rental, and left town never returning. We agreed that returning to this hotel for the night would only cause additional stress. We use Expedia often, staying in a number of properties with equal expectations and this property forced us to leave without staying which is something we have never done.
