This was a great place to stay, but we will be looking forward to coming back again and seeing how some of the amenities have changed for the better. We recognize that they recently reopened and that there are changes that are coming, they just weren't present during our stay.

Loved Crags! Would stay again. Only downside is that there isn’t AC and we stayed on some hot nights. Portable AC units would change everything. Would stay again though! Beautiful views and property. Staff was amazing and property was in great condition.

The property was in a good location and met most of our needs. Kitchen was stocked with everything needed. However, the room was rather small, the overhead fan was annoying and the floor and towels were rough. Breakfast consisted of bagels, mini muffins, dry cereal, yogurt, juice, milk, coffee, and some fruit. Pool was ok. Pool table was too small and too close to the wall.

It’s a “historic” hotel and you can take that to mean “charming and quaint” or “old and decrepit”. Depends on your view. Either way, the hotel is badly in need of renovation, especially given the rates they charge.
