Our room had no AC the first night and the bathtub would fill with water while taking a shower. The breakfast buffet items were not refilled fast enough and you had to wait for them to be refilled including the coffee.

This hotel makes me sad. It has seen much, much better days. The bones are still there and it could be quite nice but it is crystal clear that the current owner/manager has completely given up. Everything in this hotel is in various states of disrepair. The staff is indifferent prickly and humorless. No cleaning service was done in our room during our visit. Everything is shody and broken. For example they have a sauna, the water bucket used for putting water on the rocks was a garbage can, and the cheap wooden spoon that is used to dump water in was split in half. The pool has mold and mildew everywhere, the fitness center has almost no ac and it is extremely humid due to its proximity to the pool. We sweated much more than in the sauna trying to workout. Nearly every machine is broken in significant ways. Our room was in horrible condition, continuing the theme of everything broken, the ceiling had a 10 ft long water stain with a literal hole in it. The room had a strong smell of mold and mildew and the AC barely worked, shutting down completely several times. The bathroom vanity lights had 1 of 4 bulbs working, the tub is surrounded by mold, they put watered down conditioner in the "shower gel" container, the towels were strangely small and beyond cheap. The bed and pillows were lumpy and uncomfortable the sheets are threadbare and the elastic is gone on the fitted sheet so you need to adjust it constantly to avoid sleeping directly on the mattress. The TV is a Roku but d

This hotel is great for the price, it has a cozy lanai with tons of lights if you like to relax outside, also a restaurant and a bar which both are very convenient. The only thing was the AC it was very hot in the hotel and in the rooms but they are working on fixing that.

The location is great, central to everything we needed. The property was once the jewel of the town. Now the flower beds have weeds taller than the lilies that grow yearly, there are many things in need of repair. We experienced very poor housekeeping wirh old towels left from the previous lodgers in one room and garbage left in another. Our 1st room had no air-conditioning as it wasn't working, the freezer was so iced up,it wouldn't close. The patio area had garbage lying around for almost 24 hours. Staff seemed uninformed and some oblivious to taking care of anything outside their immediate surroundings or in one case her phone. Breakfast was great of you got there right away in the morning, but if you came mid to later it was dry and chewy and unattended. Its obvious no one attends the grounds. After a wedding reception there was vomit by the side entrance for many hours in the morning. So sad to see this beautiful old hotel neglected. On top of it all, almost every morning a large tesla or some other vehicle parked in a back alleyway right in front of our window, completely blocking our view. Customer service is not a focus in pur experience..

Don’t stay here if you can help it. Room smelled like cigarettes, there was poop on the toilet, towels were stained, furniture was really old and ratty, air conditioning not working well in the main areas, outside areas were not kept up- there was a rotting pizza and beer cans strewn around the patio area for over a day, and it was just gross- all of it.

This hotel is in desperate need of a deep cleaning. Our room smelled like BO and garbage was lying along side the bed and nightstand. I don’t know how it could have been missed. The staff were super nice and switched rooms. The new room was cleaner but one of the beds was terrible and sinking. Made for a long night of no sleep, especially when you are in town for a funeral. The bathroom was mildewed and the shampoo containers were empty. Not great, except for the check in girl, she was very kind.
