The entire facility seemed like sulfur. The hot tub was out of service. The heat was not turned on in the room when we arrived, and the outside temperature was in the single digits. The clerk explained how he had been sick with sinner sort of virus for the previous three days, so we didn’t really want to touch anything. There was a dried up cloth left in the tub. The breakfast want very good. The eggs and sausage were cold. The coffee was okay. It was clean overall and nice facilities.

Hot tub was not operational. Nothing was done to manage the snow in the parking lot. Nobody bothered to use the shovel and salt that was located in the foyer to clear any snow.

Room was nice. Breakfast was good. Pool and hot tub were nice. Could use an automobile charge station, work out room , and a little more hospitality and responsiveness around the place, (had to ask for pool towels) but nothing lacking For a 3 star.

Check-in went well. We arrived before 3 pm. The lady said we couldn't check in, but the gentleman said we sure could since our room was ready. The pool was very warm, but the pool room was freezing cold. The towels were all damp and hard to dry off. The hot tub was out of order. Then, at 5:30 am, the fire alarms were all going off. They didn't have anyone directing, and several of us were outside standing in the cold. Others came out to say it is a malfunction of the system, no need to be outside. If the price is right, we could come back.
