“Nice for the price for the location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

We spent New Years Eve Weekend at this hotel. It was nice, clean, staff was very friendly and accomodating. It was convienent to stores, shops, restaurant. The hotel is an older hotel with minor quirks. We asked them to replace our broken alarm clock and coffee pot which they did upon request. Wake-up call was timely. The bar services were awesome. Fun place for family. Indoor pool and hottub were clean and rec area was nice.

Room Tip: We had the suite which is very room and nice.

“First time I've ever called for a different room”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We dropped off our bags and went downtown.
Settling into our room, I found: 1.screen missing from one window, pane cracked, other window would not stay open. 2. TV would not turn on. 3. stoppers broken in bathroom sink and tub, moldy tub enclosure.
I called the desk and they gave me another room, but told me that no one was available to help move my bags the length of the property.
Rooms are arranged in clusters, each with a vending area. Ice is only available at reception.
We stayed Sept 21, the on site resturant was closed for the season. Only coffee and ice water were availble in the morning, and no place to sit down.

“Good Bang for the Buck !”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011

Staff from Registration to Housekeeping were very good and attentative. Decor is old and tired, but the room was very clean and spacious. Bathroom is generally cold, as the heat doesn't migrate to that part of the room. The 'heat' bulb/lamp doesn't do the space well. Hot water was plentiful and instant. Bring a strip outlet as the electrical outlets are few and rather inaccessible. Grounds are very well maintained. Hotel Bar has great margaritas for $2.50 from 4-7. Well worth getting 1 or 2 or ... ? Michael's, downtown is a great breakfast place. The walk to downtown is about 30 minutes if you're ambitious, unless you stop at Eske's Brew Pub for a draught. Five Star burgers just south of the hotel has surprisingly good burgers from daily fresh ground beef. All in all it was a very good place to stay.
