The actual property itself was not bad. It was in decent shape and the bathrooms were very nice. The breakfast buffet was actually really good.they I had a very good selection.It was the fact that my card had to be cancelled due to fraudulent charges after I was checked in..

This Only Has an outside Hot tub. They do have hot tub in the rooms with an up grade. The tubs are really deep and Hold water. I am realizing that using a 3rd party is not the best way to book a room. There are always Problems..

Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff was friendly and very helpful. The hotel was unique due to its age and hasn't been updated much. The only complaint was that the room we stayed in looked like it hadn't been cleaned for many months. Musty smell. The lights had probably an inch of built up dust, air filter hadn't been changed in quite some time and bathroom had a few areas that could have used some extra cleaning

The room was awful, and the building is in deplorable condition. The pipes smelled horrendous, and our heater was broken and full of dust. The staff was great and very helpful. The front desk staff offered us the room next door; however, that one was worse. I rarely complain, but this is a hotel I would not stay at again. I booked the room because of its history. Again, the staff was excellent. The corporation should visit the hotel.
