This is a very beautiful property; but it needs to a face lift in the rooms for sure. Our wall paper was peeling in multiple places, the shower looked dirty because of all the chips in the tub and the water would not drain so we stood in water as we showered. (Water pressure was amazing though!)

The fire alarm went off early in the morning due to construction. 10pm quiet time is just a suggestion. Terribly noisy after 10pm. Nobody around to keep it quiet. For the price, not many relaxing amenities are included.

Room felt dated for the nightly rate. Upset about the parking daily rate on top of resort fee which rounds up oner 80$ per night. Not happy with that. Most likely wont go back. Too pricey for the quality in return.

Disappointed that our room was not refreshed on two different days. Didn't expect a full cleaning, but their commitment was to do a daily refresh of towels and water. That did not happen on two occasions. Other than this issue, we enjoyed out time here.

The rooms are outdated and look like they haven’t been renovated since the 70s or 80s. Great location, but the property is in poor condition and should be condemned.

The property, food, hospitality was great. Walking around the property was so beautiful. The only thing I didn’t care for is our room. It was very clean but very outdated. The television was on the side of the bed not in front, so when you changed the tv channels you had to sit up and stretch to point it at the tv to work.
