The photo shown on this page is not at all the rooms we were assigned. First room did not have queen ann furniture, and elegant. It was old outdated and the room smelled of putrid animal urine. It was so nasty. Everything about this place was outdated. We picked this place for the hot tub, pool and breakfast, and nice room. We didn't get any of what was advertised on this website.

The place is old and has unpleasant odor in the room as mustiness and dampness. Complimentary breakfast was low-quality and it had unappetizing taste and texture.

Enjoyed the hot tub, but the light above didnt work. One of the other lights was out in the entryway and trim molding was coming off in spots. You can tell the room hasnt been updated in decades but has been kept in fairly good shape.

Beware bed bugs! Don’t stay here!

Bed bugs!!!! Beware! My kids were bit by bed bugs while staying here. Absolutely disgusting. Hotel is not clean, everything is run down, old and disappointing. They should be ashamed of themselves! Pool was freezing, breakfast was bizarre, breakfast room upstairs covered in dust. The whole place looked like a haunted house. Cobwebs everywhere.
