“Review by MJ”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011

I have been staying with the folks at the Magnuson St. Francisville since last winter on a regular basis and have found nothing but good things happening. They seem to have an ongoing projct of redoing all the rooms. I have watched many of the rooms being redone with new paint, carpeting, new beds and furniture. I have stayed in many of the room and have a first hand knowledge of the continual up grading of the property. I think that they will eventually have a very respectable first class place for the traveler. I have been told by management that they will have a traveler friendly resturaunt at the facility in the near future. In the time that I have been staying here I have found the staff to be very friendly and helpful and willing to do what it takes to make my stay with them (My stay usually runs for 2 weeks at a time) a good time. The few minor problems that have come up in my stays here have been handled in a very timely manner. I have found the staff from the General Manager, Reception, Housekeeping and Maintenance to be extremely helpful. I would gladly invite anyone coming to this area and needing a place to stay to come and take advantage of the hospitality and friendliness.

Room Tip: Even if you have been here before I invite you to come and see the progress in the refurbishment of...

“Works for me”

I decided to save $20 a night and stayed at Magnuson and had a nice stay. The staff was awesome and made me feel very comfortable. The hotel has a nice fitness center and a nice breakfast with plenty to choose from. The room was nice and clean and had everything that I needed inclding an iron and ironing board and easy to use wireless internet. I'll stay here again this winter.

“MOLD ,THE GANGES RIVER, & NON- GUESTS AT HOTEL”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011
5
people found this review helpful

Bathroom door had MOLD on the inside of the door.

15 teenagers (NOT guests and the Receptionist lied to me by saying the teens had rooms at the hotel) were in the pool playing vulgar music very loud. The teens used the safety floatation devise as their own personal float & broke it into several pieces. They were eating candy (which I don't have a problem with) BUT..they were throwing the candy wrappers in the pool. THEN the teens left the hotel via a trail in the forest next to the hotel WITH the hotel's pool towels. The pool water was not clear either.

We will NEVER stay there again.

I'm sorry to see your stay with us was less than satisfactory. I was made aware of the situation and want to assure you this is not the norm for this hotel.Most of the teenagers that you spoke of in your review were locals and had no business being in or around the pool. There were in fact a few of them who were actually staying here at the hotel and unfortunately they didn't use very good judgement in inviting them to come over. We do have a policy here at the hotel where only hotel guests are allowed to use the pool area. I also understand there was an issue with mold being found on the back of your bathroom door. I have already met with my Executive Housekeeper and explained to her how to properly train her housekeeping staff when cleaning our guest rooms. I hope that if you are ever in the area again you will give us another opportunity to show you that this was an isolated incident. Please feel free to contact me directly at the hotel if I may be of further assistance.

Thank you,

“Decent hotel for great value”

I visited the hotel just for the night while visiting a plantation in the area. For the type of hotel it was (doors on the outside), it was a great room! Hot breakfast, helpful and friendly staff. Room wasn't fancy but clean and comfortable!

Very few places to pick from but the others are much nicer than this. Rooms were very dirtly including the bathrooms. It was a decent continental breakfast which is the only reason it is getting 2 stars.
