Bathroom door was warped making it difficult to close. Advertise wood burning fireplace but fail to mention wood is not provided. Breakfast was disappointing-very few choices. Always eggs biscuits and sausage. Charge $5 for parking. Not sure why. You park right in font of your room.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
We were provided a room that became filled with smoke from another room's fireplace fire. This room did not have olympics coverage unlike the replacement room we had due to the smoke problem. Due to the smoke, we were assigned a new room, but we were unable to open the door that required staff to diagnose / fix the problem. While the replacemnt room was a bit better, it had one chair - a bar stool while a desk chair would have been nice. Also, a number of stink bugs were in the room. A large chip in the furniture refects the sub standards of this hotel as the1970's appearance reflected in most areas of the property. There were no electrical outlets on my side of the bed, unlike most hotels providing wall outlets or a lamp with multiple power connections. While the Hotels.com listing states a 3 star hotel and states a restaurant class breakfast, everything was substandard in all respects. an 8+ rating is way overstated in my opinion.

Stayed in Standard Room Valentines Weekend. Clean room, friendly staff and comfortable bed. They do charge an extra $5 per night for parking. Biggest complaint with the room was a very small bathroom. The toilet was (no joke) 2 inches from the tub which made it very awkward. Probably going to stay elsewhere next time

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The walls were chipped with paint. It was very old and outdated and looked nothing like the pictures. There was a stink bug on the AC unit the whole stay. The first morning we only got clean towels, but they didn’t take away the dirty towels. The second day we didn’t even get new clean towels. No one offered to bring us new towels, we had to walk up a hill in the cold to get them. Our safe did not work, so all valuable have to be taken with us each day and stored in our car. Overall, very unsatisfied with my stay, will not be returning, and will not be recommending.
