Rented 2 rooms and they both had things wrong with them. Both showers backed up. One mini split didn’t work. One didn’t have hangers. Sink in one was loose.

Rooms were dirty and smelled of smoke. There were holes in the walls and vomit on the bathroom wall. The pool was green and cloudy and had bubbles as if something was living in it. Filter wasn’t on. Shady people living in rooms. Rundown

I will never ever stay here ever again the staff was friendly but the place needs to be renovated. When I first got there I was immediately creeped out I felt like I was in a scary movie. I got into one of the rooms which smelled like weed and there was blood on the wall light and in the tub. The room also had traces of mold in it, and there were stains on the carpet overall would never stay there ever again would not recommend to anybody unless you absolutely need a place to stay even then I would rather sleep under a bridge or a tent.

This was not a great experience. First they gave us the wrong room we reserved a double deluxe suite and got a standard double rhey did offer to move us the next day but no one wanted to pack up and move the stuff in the snow. They did not provide enough towels for us and we had to keep asking for clean towels. They didnt come to get rhe trash and then the bed bug issue....
