We have stayed here many,many times over the last 25 yrs. Loved the property always enjoying frindly desk service,great continental's breakfast, heated pool and hot tub. This stay not acceptable on any level. No hot water, pool area closed, no breakfast items. Front desk couldnt even allow late check out though literally the hotel is empty of guest. They dont inform you of any of this until your checked in. It was shocking.Ice cold water in the winter.?? Hot water not working! So decieving.

BLOOD ON PILLOW NO HOT WATER
We have stayed here same time last year we loved the pool it was heated and everything but this time it was getting remodeled, ok that’s fine but when we got to the room we THOUGHT everything was fine at first until it was time to shower the water was FREEZING cold, I had layed down was fixing the pillows THERE WAS BLOOD ON THE PILLOWS so that was the last straw. I went to the front desk told him about the shower he said “it’s an old building you have to just run the sink” and for the blood on the pillow he literally just took the pillow and wrote a note . He was RUDE ! I’ve honestly never complained about any hotel but this one was just wow … very disappointing.

I like staying here because the staff is nice, the rooms are basic for the affordable price, but the construction sometimes is quite the inconvenience. Knowing it advance the pools aren’t available would be nice to know. Rooms look updates but the craftsmanship is a bit messy. Our towel hanger fell off when I went to dry my hands. Like how? Anyways. Since they can’t offer breakfast right now their morning breakfast bags are decent. Overall a 3/5. It’s the price for the location and amenities.
