The property was not as described. The room needs a makeover the jacuzzi faucet was leaky and there was an odor to the room. The pool and public hot tub were in need of a deep clean. The overall stay was fine.

Overall it was good. Nice view, nice towels, not enough washcloths and only 1 day of coffee, but i did not call room service.The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was unappealing. Exterior upkeep was lacking. I was charged correctly as booked.

The place is old and has unpleasant odor in the room as mustiness and dampness. Complimentary breakfast was low-quality and it had unappetizing taste and texture.

Enjoyed the hot tub, but the light above didnt work. One of the other lights was out in the entryway and trim molding was coming off in spots. You can tell the room hasnt been updated in decades but has been kept in fairly good shape.

Beware bed bugs! Don’t stay here!

Bed bugs!!!! Beware! My kids were bit by bed bugs while staying here. Absolutely disgusting. Hotel is not clean, everything is run down, old and disappointing. They should be ashamed of themselves! Pool was freezing, breakfast was bizarre, breakfast room upstairs covered in dust. The whole place looked like a haunted house. Cobwebs everywhere.

Our staff Fenton was very polite, friendly and overall a great staff member. The rooms need lots of attention as in lots of updating. The curtains in our suite need cleaning desperately as there are blood stains on the ones across from the bathroom. Overall it was a peaceful stay.
