Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 27, 2009

The hotel was obviously under going renovations which I think caused the elevators to be unmercifully slow. Waiting 5 minutes to go down one floor because there were no convenient steps. The pool area was very nice but it could use a little more pool and a lot less deck. The breakfast was good, but the restaurant was lacking in both quality and service. Overall it was a nice stay, but for service and convenience it is way overpriced. I have stayed in nicer hotels for half the price.

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Apr 15, 2008

The hotel itself was nice for the price we paid. The condition of the room was not; nor was the furniture. The hotel staff was extremely rude and not at all helpful. I was not directed to my room or offered any pleasantries, nor was I asked while checking out how my stay had been. They had no toiletries on hand for guests who may have forgotten to pack aomething. We were instead told to try going to a convenience store. The information about the area in the room for guests' convenience was lacking as well.

I was at first impressed to have a Jacuzzi tub in the room, but disappointed to find the stopper wouldn't work. Also, the cable seemed to be messed up, many of the channels wouldn't come in clearly, no HBO as advertised. I made the Front Desk aware of it, but as far as I could tell, nothing was ever done about it. Hotel was undergoing remodeling so elevators/hallways were dusty, dirty and hot.

Reviewed by Sue of New York on Jul 19, 2007

This hotel was definitely a great value, especially with the included the usual contential breakfast plus a hot breakfast which included waffles, biscuits and gravy, sausages and scrambled eggs. Our biggest complaint was that the room was book months in advance, yet when we arrived they did not have a room. They finally found a room, however, it was a smoking room and we had reserved a non-smoking room. It took two of the four nights we were staying to get most of the smell out of the room. If it was not for this I would have rated the hotel as excellent, but after a five hour drive to have this happen was very disconcerting.

No hot water for 2 days! No extra pillows (because the hotel was sold out)! Because we had pets, we were placed at the end of a hall, right outside a room used as a meeting/social place for members of the American Legion that met outside the room until 1-2 in the morning, thus upsetting the dogs and then the clean up crew comes in and causes more noise for the dogs and left their garbage outside our door, but we're told not to leave our dogs unattended during the day because people complained of their barking. Guess what - they barked even when we were there because of all of the noise. Not to mention the noise coming straight into our room from their party room. You would think it would be better sound proof - but no!
