Great hotel. Loved the sauna and jacuzzi. Pool was closed both days I was there. Nice to have the restaurant and bar. Very clean. Lovely grounds and plenty of seating throughout.

The pool was not in working condition. Also, the $15 parking fee per night came as a surprise. I believe most hotels in the area have free parking. So a good deal on the room becomes less with $15 added per night.

Comfortable room and bed. No USB options for charging. Food buffet was fair in terms of selection but the hot food was cold.

Very stuffy inside of the hotel lobby. The air conditioner in my room was not working properly. Seemed like the entire building had a problem with the A/C Not good especially when it’s over 80 degrees outside.

I booked this hotel for the amazing pool. Booked with other people and we booked rooms that opened up to the pool. We booked weeks in advance. Up on checkin we were told the pool was out of order and had been for some time. It would be been nice if we were contacted and informed. We had very disappointed children. And then the charge for parking was a surprise! Are hotels really charging people to park now??? No wonder the hotel and parking lot were empty. Now our room was nice and what I expected for the price. I'm just really upset about the pool especially as I drove 6 hours for my kids to be able to play in it! They did compensate me with a free breakfast and some drinks. But that didn't really help much. It was a nice gesture (that I asked for). But get the pool fixed... Having a bunch of kids drooling over a pool was incredibly hard!

Just okay. Check-in was slow, even though I was the only one in line. AC/Heater in the room didn't work as well as it should. Vents needed to be cleaned. Room smelled. Iron leaks. Was not aware that they now charge for parking until I checked out and asked for receipt. Have stayed here 3 other times in the past years and enjoyed it, but now property and service is not what it used to be:(
