Man out front for hours with his huge dog. Seem to be know the lady working at the front desk. Dog slobbered all over my 78 year old mother. Should have people just hanging out in front of the hotel.

Not the best place if you have allergies, there is a lot of humidity from the pool since it is open to the whole hotel so the windows along the stairs are dripping wet. There is no key card required to go into the pool or into the numerous doors throughout the building so it didnt feel as secure for us. Also we were to use bracelets for the pool because we were told people would just come in that weren't staying there and try to use the pool. No one came in to check for bracelets in the hour that we were at the pool. The pool was fine. The breakfast was nice. Overall we wont stay again because we want more security measures and the high humidity made our allergies act up

AC smelled like urine when running in cabin suite. The desk clerk tried to enter our room at 10:30 pm for no reason without knocking and no idea why and scared us to death. The breakfast was quite good but didn’t make up for the smell and the weird wake up call barging into our room at almost 11:00 pm without knocking.

Large gathering space brings us back every year
I like the staff, they were great. Breakfast was excellent. I have been familiar with this hotel for 30 years. It was amazing in its heyday. They have updated the entry part of the property, but the rest needs it too. I come here every year because my son's team wants to stay here. It has a nice open space where 30 of us can gather near the pool area. It's cold, but the kids must like the pool ok because they spend a lot of time there. It's nice and shallow for the littles. If they had a large hot tub, that would bring it to my good graces. It's in a decent area on the edge of town.
