Was lied to about the room i was supposed to get. So I had to get a new room and they only wanted to do a 10% discount I thought that was not fair .So I asked for the difference in room to be refunded to me. Also there was still open drinks in the fridge in my room. It was not cleaned properly. Ive never really had a problem with this hotel I've stayed there a few times. I had a rude front desk person. The second person was really nice working along side of her. It was just me and my two children, but I had a lot to carry in because it was my daughter's birthday. Kids are 5 and 6 btw. I didn't get one offer for someone to help me. I mentioned that at the front desk. Gonna be a while before I come back here to be honest.

Spring House Inn has great ambiance, friendly staff, and clean rooms. I wish I could have stayed longer than one night and had been able to enjoy the sauna, pool and fitness room. I would definitely recommend, and hope to return someday.

Clean room hot breakfast everyone was very plesant. Only issue was the faucets for the whirlpool room were bathroom faucets so it took over an hour to fill up the tub. Everything was clean and in good repair, albeit a bit dated. Recommend would stay again.

Tiolet running in room. Had to move to another room. Thin walls: could hear the couple in the next room moaning and sighing several times through the night. Awoke me.. "Hot" breakfast was cold. No elevator. This should be mentioned on the website. Furniture drawers had moldy smell.
