Not a very clean place

The room was not very clean. There were long dust/cobweb strings from the ceiling above the bed by the window. The bathroom sink area was definitely not wiped down well. The bath towels had hairs embedded in them. The large mirror had big streaks. The desk area was dusty. Definitely overpriced for the lack of attention.

You could tell the property was quite old, deteriorating and not what the rating of 'excellent' was online. In addition, we had to pay extra for breakfast when making the reservations. On Wednesday of our stay, the sit down breakfast was nice...on Thursday, the breakfast was a low level continental. If we would have known this, we would not have paid extra for the breakfasts

Not worth the money you pay for!!

First, checked in with being told the hotel charges $50 a day for incidentals not $25 like advertised on hotels.com, they did remedy but still a pain. Ice machines never full, hotel run down needing upgrades. Hot tub dirty visible mold. Paid for breakfast, but seriously should have been included given the quality for price. Beds comfortable, but daughter found ants on day of checkout.
