This is false advertising. The rooms are disgusting. The internet and tv did not work. The outlets in the room did not work. The pool and gym were closed. There were bugs in the rooms. I am extremely disappointed this is list as a 4 star hotel it was the worst hotel I have ever walked into. I had to leave and book a new hotel, I am still waiting for my refund that I was told I would be getting.

We love it here

We always love it here. Yes, the hotel is aging and declining but the most important thing is that the management is trying their best to keep up with the amenities. The employees are friendly and helpful. For the price, that’s good enough for us. The location and amenities like free hot buffet is good and a trail to walk our dog is a big win to us. We love their outdoor area and the Shogun restaurant!We keep coming back. Actually booking now for our next visit.

This is my new spot! It has some amazing amenities, an indoor pool and outdoor pool. 2 onsite restaurants, a club and many bars. The food was delicious including complementary hotel breakfast. I am going to be going back! Loved my bar tender Vanessa she’s so nice! This place has a great atmosphere with happy kind people. I was sad the jacuzzi room is down but it won’t stop me from coming back. I’ll still give this place a 9/10.

It's a lovely old hotel!

The breakfast was excellent! Waffle-maker was fun. Coffee was great. Scrambled eggs and sausage links were yummy and best of all, you eat them on porcelain plates (not paper plates). You could dine at the outdoor area with the view of the stream. The hotel has an old school look but classy! Our room has the view of the woods. My family and I enjoyed our stay there.

I liked the bar/restaurant was in the rear of the building. It was a very short distance to walk, but seperated it from the Inn. Plenty and a variety of seating by the stream on the deck. The breakfast were good. The brick oven pizza is amazing!!! The shuttle service took us to Mohican Sun casino, it was a quiet and cozy place to be. I would stay here again.

Room was neat and tidy. The staff was friendly and tried to help. Problems were- the toilet ran all night long and sweated so badly there was a puddle on the floor in the morning. Bathroom faucet was leaking. Hallway door entrances need repainting and some wall portions need replacing (coming off). I’m diabetic and carry insulin. There was no freezer in the mini fridge to store my ice packs in the room so I was told to bring it to the restaurant and they’d put them into the freezer. I did that. In the morning when I went to pick them up I was told I had to go to the front desk and talk to them about it. They called the guy and told him I needed to get my ice packs. When I went back an ice pack was missing. They are a special type for my insulin cooler so they are more expensive than a typical ice pack. Was told by front desk they’d give the manager a message but as of yet I’ve heard nothing. Grounds were nice but the inside pool was quite cloudy. The outside pool was clear. Had to go to front desk to get towels. They gave us some and said they’d have them restocked but never did. Food was good. Complimentary breakfast was very basic: cereal, fruit, eggs, sausage, potatoes, coffee, juice, bagels.
