Very poorly managed. Cleaning staff just walk into your room without knocking - repeatedly. Very strange. Have revisited multiple times - but because of a "new system" apparently I've hardly ever been there. As a member - pretty degusted that this is the standard or our club. Musty smelling hallways - terrible parking and atrocious access / egress from the carpark areas. They obviously spent too much money buying the Knights to be interested in providing members the service that they actually pay for.

Mediocre

The hotel itself was clean and reasonably appointed. The staff and clientele however, was questionable. It took several hours to get the staff help on an extremely noisy guest and when confronted was told it wasn't their responsibility. Given the choice, would not stay again. Especially during peak period.

Warm friend staff but in need of upgrade.

Warm friendly staff. Aging interior but still comfortable. Lots of stains on cushions and blankets, crusty food stuck on benches, broken shower, missing plates and cutlery. On request the staff quickly arranged maintenance. The final charge was different and slightly higher than what was booked through Hotels.com. No details on why the higher price was provided.
