Floor number designations are very confusing. The 1st floor label on the elevator is actually the rooms with 200 #. You get on the elevator, press the 2nd floor button, and the doors open to the 3rd floor. There is no 3rd floor button in the elevator. Very confusing. I ran into another couple that was as confused as me. The desk clerk tried to explain, but it still made no sense. It would be very difficult for 1st responders

The only thing is the keys didn’t work. But I was sick so I didn’t get to enjoy my stay. My whole point was to see my grandkids for my granddaughters birthday. So we bothered not to get the keys fixed lol I do recommend you stay here.

We will likely pick a different one next time....

The walk to our room was like something out of a blooper video. Like we were rats in a maze being watched on camera, down a hallway, through another door, around a corner and just when you think you are there, there's another door and another hallway. We finally found it and when we did we used the card to get in the room only to find the latch had it locked from the inside. We felt defeated and dreaded the walk back through the labyrinth. It turns out a little further down the hall was another door to our room that was accessible. We finally got settled in and turned on the TV. It would not work, no tv station would come in. At first we thought we were old and not working it properly but the gentleman from the front desk came to our room and could not get it to work either. After messing with it quite a bit he showed us how we could watch UTube on it. Unfortunately, UTube wasn't going to inform us of the impending weather. We were worried about snow as we had several hours to travel the next day. I went to go out the patio door to smoke at the picnic table in the courtyard and the door was unlocked. When I came back in to retire for the night I could not get the door to lock. I tried several times making sure it was in the locked position but everytime I tried to slide the door it came right open so I layed there the entire night thinking someone was going to come in and kill us. I guess I have watched to many of those TV shows. It was a decent hotel with nice staff but....

Family gathering

For the negatives; we have two little dogs. Our room was at the end. Every time the doors opened or closed, the doors slammed, where it banged and would wake everyone up, including the dogs. There is no sidewalk to the door entrance, and so you had to walk on the uneven grass/snow. For the positives; The room was clean, the shower hot and the bed very comfortable. If only parents would control their children, not lettinb them scream down the hallways, it would have been a nice getaway.
