Was Once A Great Hotel
Pros:

I have been going to this hotel since I was a teenager, now 45. We use to LOVE this place!!! It has struggled over the
years. Unfortunately it has become just another beat down, broken, old hotel. We will not be staying again. The elevators are constantly broken so you have to take the stairs. The stairs stink like an old port-a-potty and are just filthy. Their once nice hot tub has now been filled with cement. The pool was milky, full of leaves and debris. The electronic key never works. They charge to park in a parking lot with construction supplies. Then the deal breaker for us was the AC never got cold!!!!! After cooking all day you look forward to coming back to a crisp cold room. That is not possible here. The staff was very friendly! But the hotel is just no longer a treat.
