I stayed at this hotel twice. This review is referencing the second stay. Upon arrival I was asked if I wanted to stay on the 2nd or 3rd floor. I had booked a regular room, but was given a suite. It was a large, lovely room with a nice view of a small wooded area behind the hotel. They also gave me my drink chips that come with booking through Expedia. You can use them at the bar, or if you don't drink you can use them on their pantry drinks. The pool area here is amazing. It's an indoor/outdoor pool that was open to the outside despite the cold weather. The hot tub was great as well. Their breakfast is delicious. A full, continental breakfast with lots of choices. We did have one pretty decent issue though. We noticed that one of the mattresses in the room was upside-down. We called down to the front desk to ask for assistance flipping it since the underside was very hard. The front desk didn't answer while trying a couple times, then when they did they left us on hold. Two men did come up to help eventually. Upon flipping it we noticed a large stain and asked what could be done about it. One of the men became very angry and spoke wildly inappropriate to us. I had to ask him why he was mad. That made him more upset and he stormed off. The other man explained their staffing issues and the long day and asked how to make it right. We got it figured out. Honestly, even after that I would still stay there again cause it's a lovely hotel overall.

I've stayed at this hotel twice. This review is based on my first stay. When I checked in they didn't offer the room upgrade or drink tokens. They also weren't aware that we were suppose to get a late check out so our room key stopped working at 11 am when we were trying to come back from the pool. All that aside, I really like the look and feel of this place. It reminds me of Colorado. The pool is amazing. It's an indoor/outdoor pool and even though it was cold outside it was still open to the outside. The hot tub was great too. A lovely set up. Their breakfast is great too. Lots to choose from. A true, continental breakfast. This stay was nice enough that I booked the place again for couple weekends later.

Everything was great, other than I stayed at the cottages and got locked out early in the morning in my nightgown. It was freezing and after calling the front desk, they informed me that I needed to come to them for a new key. I had to run around the property barefoot, in my pjs, in the cold. It didn’t need to be that embarrassing or uncomfortable for me.

The entire staff was friendly the entirety of my stay, which was multiple weeks, the pizza was fantastic and they even offered to let me go in for breakfast early since I had to be at work before breakfast hours. I will definitely be back if I work in the area again!

Service was very poor at this property. I waited almost 40 minutes to check in and staff did not seem concerned with assisting. I would not recommend staying here. After waiting and calling the property multiple times a staff member abruptly came out of a closet with a male. I can only guess what they were doing but it was a very poor experience

We arrived at the property and our bathroom looked like the glitter fairy threw up. It was all over the bathroom and the toilet paper. The bathroom floor was coming up and put a hole in my socks, and there were stains on the sheet, hair and something else gross. We also did not have a remote for our TV. We called and asked about it and was told they could not help us so I beat not get charged for that. So I had two teenage girls with no TVor remote. The person that greeted when I came in and left was not friendly at all.

Comfortable but needs updating.

The hotel was built in the early 2000's (2000-2002) I know this as the employer I worked for at the time held classes at area hotels and two of us toured the hotel in its construction phase. The room we stayed in (king with whirlpool) had not been updated since that time - low toilet and easy chair which are hard for people with bad knees to use/sit in. Other items were simple items such as 3-way light bulbs that only had one available brightness available, cracked tiles in bathroom. Alarm clock that was unplugged and when plugged in, could not figure out how to set time -- maybe reason unplugged? We had to have maintenance come look at the toilet as it wasn't flushing correctly and fully. All the employees we had contact with were very friendly. The free hot breakfast was great.

The children in the room adjoining ours were screaming, fighting, running up and down the hallway and slamming doors until 11:30 pm and then they were up again at 7 am with more of the same. The hallway carpets and stairways were littered with papers and garbage. This is not the first time we've stayed here for convenience sake, but it will be the last. It's always the same with unrestrained children running around and lots of noise. You can't get a decent night's sleep.
