Bumbleberry Inn

8/10 Good

"The location was pretty close to the park and that made a huge difference for us to plan our hikes everyday. The checkin was pretty smooth and the room had some gorgeous views. The coupons to eat at porter was a huge perk. We did not have to plan for breakfast and we just show up and get a sumptuous breakfast everyday. This was actually very nice. Now to the cleanliness. The daily cleaning of the rooms slowly became less in terms of the detail. First day everything was cleaned and items were replenished. Second day the towels were note replenished. The coffee grinds were not cleaned from the coffee machine and new coffee packets were note kept. The pool was the worst, after a tiring hike the kids wanted to use the pool and jaccuzzi but both the pool and jacuzzi was filled with dead flies and insects. We dipped out legs in jacuzzi to find that when we took the legs it was covered and stuck with dead flies. Porter restaurant treatment differs by the time you go, last day we went there around 10:20 AM and the breakfast was supposed to be served until 11. Also it was the day after long weekend so the crowd has gone down a lot. The service was not up to the mark, they just wanted us to finish our breakfast and leave, The server did not even come over to check on us for how things were. Even with this bad service, I did provide them with good service fee. Overall I would have preferred to stay in a place with lesser cost and not use these amenities (I didn't use them!)"
