Comfy but needs a refresh

This is still a good place to stay. Hotel could use a refresh. Been coming here for 20 years. Breakfast is so-so. There is no swimming pool. Beds are very comfortable. And, the service is excellent.

Over priced, dirty, tried to reach out to management before reviewing no resolution - this is what $170+ a night gets you - old food in drawers, dirty stained furniture, non working appliances

Brian

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Housekeeping needs to do much better. No toilet paper besides s half used roll. Landscaping looked unkempt. Pillow and pillowcase had a very noticeable fresh stain. Finally the front desk help was never at the front desk. You always had to dial 0 on the phone to get them to the desk. This isn't a complaint about them, but about the owners who don't seem to hire enough people to properly staff. We need to get past the, "We're just not going to clean as much now. Deal with it!" attitude that took over during COVID. If you want 5 stars I need my room clean and stocked.
