The staff is awesome but the hotel itself could use some updating. It’s in an older part of town with a closed theater and other run down buildings around it. We’ll stay closer to Jordan Creek next time.

The hotel lobby was clean, the breakfasts were hot & tasty, and the staff were super friendly & accommodating, even when we arrived back to our room in the wee hours of the morning. I did notice our room wasn't cleaned during the 4 nights we were checked in, but in fairness I think that standard has changed a lot since the pandemic (I haven't travelled in awhile) and they also provided us with more towels when we asked. I'm sure they would have also cleaned our room if we had requested it. We didn't swim but the pool area looked clean & beautifully decorated. 5 stars overall!

First thing needed is sound proofing done to the whole building,quiet hours would be a good rule, staff needs to enforce the rules like no kids under 12 in hot tub, I went down to the hot tub/ pool twice and there was about 10 Little kids I would say all 6-8 year old, with about 4-5 adults all in hot tub. No kids in pool after 10pm. I came back at around 10:15pm and kids kids everywhere, and no parents. Again don’t make rules if the staff is not going to enforce them. this is more of a kids hotel, older people with no kids not a good idea. Need to upgrade bed, it was literally hard as rocks. Pillows were so soft, well, it was better without the pillows on the rock hard bed. Older people when not accompanied by kidos, should not be place on the bottom floor with kids above them, and by a door that does not ever get locked. However we will NOT be back!!

The cottages property was absolutely amazing, the themed jacuzzi suite was beautiful and comfortable, the bar was nice and the staff friendly the most part were all courteous and friendly. The only problem I had was on the first night we were there, I came down at around 11pm to ask if I could have a couple of champagne glasses for myself and my partner, and the lady on the main desk was very rude and sarcastic which somewhat soured the evening. Apart from that one interaction, the stay was wonderful, food amazing and the staff were brilliant. Will definitely be staying again soon

The room seemed cleaned, but it had a musty smell and we found a pair of boxers left behind the bathroom door when we checked in… yuck. The staff was very kind. Having a bar in the building was nice. The breakfast was great! The pool area was pretty big but the actual pool wasn’t very big. Our kids did think the indoor/ outdoor pool was pretty neat. The hallway carpet and wallpaper show age but that didn’t phase the kids haha

Love everything about this place! Except we waited for over an hour to just get into the hot tub because there were like 12 teenagers in there, so we waited until after 10pm because the front desk told us only people over the age of 21 were allowed in the pool area after 10. When we got down there about 10:15 and all of the teenagers were still in there. Sucked we could relax before bed. Everything else was great. I recommend the Rancher's Retreat room.

They overbooked the hotel so when we went to check in at the front desk we were turned away. We had to go to a different hotel. And Expedia still billed us for our rooms. We are disputing it through our credit card.
