The fact that the indoor pool was closed for the season. Also the chair and footstool looked like a cat scratched the crap out of it

HORRIBLE we immediately checked out and found other accommodations.
Cons:

The hotel is in poor shape. The pool was disgusting. The circulation pumps were not turned on to filter the water. Our room smelled damp and musty, we were later informed by the staff that there was a known sewer leak on that floor. The chair in the room was shredded.

location to the areas we wanted to be a part of was perfect (boking trip). Great stay and great trip
Pros:

Breakfast was typical of most continental breakfasts at other hotels. The inclusion of two waffle makers with different flavors was a good touch and the choice of eggs was a plus. location was fine. good availability of food.

Cons:

Our only negative was that the hotel felt outdated from an aesthetic perspective. But again, the staff was first class, attentive and accommodating to all our requests.
