Front desk staff do not know their product very well. They don't know where the ethernet connector was. I had to look for it and it was behind the coffee machine in the room. They also did not know how fast the connection was--they just said "its very fast". Useless information. I measured it at its is about 80Mb/s down and 60M/bs up. Its not bad and the connection was reliable although there was now instructions on how to connect. If you have asthma, ask for a room that they didn't spray with some kind of perfumey air freshener. I was almost gaging when I first entered the room. Even though all entries to each room are from the outside (no indoor corridor), it is impossible to open the windows to air the room out--windows appear to be stuck. Hot water was almost instant and you never have to worry about running out while taking a shower. It was a pretty basic hotel that servers breakfast and not a bad value for $110/night. The location was really convenient and relatively quiet too.

Worth the stay!
On the whole, the property is lovely. The breakfast was excellent. The staff all very pleasant and helpful. Some renovations were taking place at the time of our stay. The pool was not available and there were mattresses and bed frames visible from our room. This temporarily took away from the appearance of the property.

Affordable, comfortable and in the idea location for our trip. Would stay there again. Good breakfast, pleasant staff and comfortable room. Pool is closed until 2024 for refurbishing. That’s ok, it was a bit cold for swimming anyway. Seems like they take good care of the property.

Once again, we are sorry that the resurfacing of the pool was disturbing, although it never started before 10am. I know that it could be a disappointment if that is why choose a hotel. We waited as long after Summer to begin the process and hope to have it ready for the season again and look forward to your return visit to enjoy a new pool area, until then, thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sorry that you were disturbed by someone at 7am since the work going on at the pool is only allowed to start at 10am. Unfortunately, there really is no other way to replace the pool deck, we have to go through inconvenient times to get to a new and spectacular pool deck. I hope you come back to enjoy it!

warm smelly room
The room and facilities were clean. However, considering it was supposed to be a non-smoking facility, the room definitely smelled of smoke. Most annoying though was that the A/C only seemed to work intermittently so it was quite warm in the room most all night.

We are non-smoking and I wish you would have let us have the opportunity to investigate an a/c that you feel was not working properly. We hope your next visit meets your expectations.

Terrible we where infected with bad bogs and scabies
Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023
Response from Dean on Sep 21, 2023
As I have discussed this with the registered guest, scabies show symptoms at a minimum of 2-weeks after being infected...most of the time closer to 6-weeks. As you and your mother showed symptoms and sought medical attention within 48-hours, your medical affliction was derived elsewhere. We are sorry that you were exposed to mites, but you are searching for a resolution with the wrong facility.
