Better options
The only good thing about this hotel is the staff. All very friendly. This was a second stay, and it’s gone way downhill. Hot tub is full of sediment, actually feels like a foot of gravel on the bottom and seats. Door to room didn’t close latch unless husband used major force and then it was ridiculous to try to open. There is maybe 7 channels on the tv, and it volume doesn’t turn down. It’s surface clean. Really no eagerness to fix anything in this place. Will book elsewhere next time.

The pool and hot tub were done even when I called ahead to make sure it was working. They said it was out for a week when i checked but when i called it was working. The pool was the only reason my family went.

We stayed at the property for 9 days. The room was clean when we arrived, but in order to receive maid service, we had to sign a clipboard with our room number on it (we found this out after 2 days of no service). When we did get service, we (my wife and I) were given two wash cloths, one hand towel and one bath towel. We went down and requested and received the additional, missing towels -only to find (once back in the room) that a bath towel was dirty. The delay in maid service meant we had to empty our own, overflowing trash cans in our room. The toilet roll holder was mounted such that the bar would not stay in, so the roll kept falling on the floor-resulting in the roll being kept on top of the tank. The hallways, lobby and breakfast area were not heated, so we had to wear our coats while eating breakfast. Day 1 the breakfast was fully stocked, but each succeeding day something ran out; first it was yogurt, then orange juice, then plastic cups for the waffle batter. Our stay last summer was great, but this one...not so much...

Very cold in the hallways and dining area. Had to wear a coat for breakfast . Jets didn’t work in hot tub, hot tub lining was abrasive. Coffee pot in room had not been cleaned from previous occupants with old grinds left in it. Manager was never available to talk to when asked for. Staff were all walking around with big hoodies on as well. Breakfast itself was good. Also sidewalks weren’t shovelled.

Probably not again!
The room we were given had already been used so we were directed to another. The temperature was hard to control all night so we didn’t get very much sleep. Also the bathroom fan was so loud that it gave you a headache, it was the same switch as the light so we tried not to use the light either.

Not as booked
This is the second time I am booked this type of room, a king with an accessible shower meaning you can walk right in. Both times we got to the hotel and were told that there was no room like that available. Housekeeping was not great. As well, one of the lamp bulbs in our room was burnt out, upon further inspection there was broken glass behind the nightstand. As well as a very thick coating of dust on the headboard. Toilet Appeared to have been used when we got to the room And was not clean on the seat. Will not be rebooking here.

The first room I was given was not cleaned by housekeeping for the beds were not made and cleary showed someone had checked out. The front desk person tried the best he could and expressed his frusration. The room that I ended up getting was evident needed a really thorough cleaning. There was not hand soap in the bathroom.
