They charged me for two nights and we only stayed one. They didn’t know how long it would take to get my refund. The pool was great! They had zero towels and cleaning crew wasn’t coming until the morning. But for the one night it was an ok place to stay. Safe property.

Okay yes antique old style looking, but could be way more beautiful if the workers actually took the time and did their job. Find my arrival the room they had assigned to me, have not been cleaned, so they gave me another room. I went to that room and it had been occupied, so went back to desk to get another room, but they act like it was normal…. So anyways I got my room and the cleanness of the hotel and rooms just didn’t fit right with me. Hint- I wonder if they knew what a vacuum was. I checked for bedbugs and decided to stay because I just needed a place to lay my head for the night and I was up early and gone the next day

Very large property with tons of potentials needs a lot of updating and tax- staff at check in was great - we used the hot tub and pool area was clean - while there were no pool towels available in the room the front desk offered us two extra towels to use - the area is really nice - close to town but far enough away enough to feel you have some peace and quiet . The breakfast was not complimentary so we ate after we left the property in the morning - checkout staff Phyllis is a wonderful addition to your staff she’s very sweet and spent time letting us know more about the property and new ownership it would be under - we can’t wait to come back and see the renovations

With the circumstances of not many employers, new owners, and in the process of renovations. This hotel was pretty good. Only complaint i would really have out side the circumstances would be, there was no refrigerator or microwave. With the new owners coming in and putting money in the place the hotel should be back up to better standards. Sonny the bartender was great to talk with.

We had to pay $2 for coffee. Most rooms that you pay over $100 a night will atleast have a small coffee pot, Microwave, and/or a mini fridg. This hotel had none of those things in our room but had coffee in the lobby and then was asked for $2 per cup. We felt that is was a very cheap thing to do by management/ownership.

So much potential being wasted

There is so much potential in this property but it needs some significant TLC. Neither the restaurant nor the bar were open, front desk staff stated being short staffed has led to the closures. Many spots of water damage and/or mold on walls and ceilings as well as debris on the floors from walls deteriorating. Someone must have pulled an alarm because every room was triggered around 10:30pm for a couple of minutes and no effort was made to apologize or correct the disturbance. The room was FREEZING, I slept in 2 shirts and 2 pairs of socks plus sweatpants—the heat did start working sometime in the middle of the night. The shower was also cold, warming only to about lukewarm after nearly 40 minutes. Finally, during the event we attended downstairs, there was a distinct sewer smell in the hallways for the entire duration. I’d like to hope improvements are made but as of march 2025, my recommendation is stay elsewhere!

Needs help

The check in staff was great, the lobby was very nice but the room was extremely outdated. Worse than that was the fact that the heat was not turned on in our room when we arrived and it was mid February and 21 degrees outside. It didn't actually warm up until well after we went to bed. The room appeared clean at first but there was trash from other people behind the cabinet under the tv. The carpets were very dirty as well. I dont usually leave bad reviews but I just feel it needed to be said.
