Categories

Cleanliness
7.8
Mixed comments: several guests noted rooms were clean, but there are specific cleanliness complaints (dirty bathtub) that lower the score slightly.
Service
8.8
Generally positive service mentions (friendly staff, quick/easy check-in, great customer service) though isolated service failures (deposit not returned, noisy housekeeping) are noted.
Location
9.2
Consistently praised (close to Main Street, central location, great views) though some noted the hotel sits on a slope with stairs/hills when walking to Main St.
Room Quality
7.6
Large, spacious rooms and suites praised, but many comments about dated furniture, noisy or malfunctioning AC/fridge, broken fireplace/doors and subpar suite furnishings reduce the score.
Amenities
6.8
Multiple complaints about pool/hot tub/sauna being closed or broken, garage/door issues and limited functioning amenities; game room and on-site parking are positives but do not offset closures.
Value for Money
9
Several guests explicitly state very good value/price-quality ratio and roomy accommodations for the price, contributing to a strong value score.
Food and Beverage
7.6
Breakfast received mixed feedback: some found it yummy, others noted limited protein options and an instance with no breakfast available, resulting in a slightly below-target score.
Overall Experience
8.8
Overall positive stay impressions and repeat-booking intent are common (headlines like 'great stay', 'would go back'), tempered by amenity closures and some room issues.

It was a great stay
Pros:

Close to Main Street

Cons:

The Queen bed was small, would have loved a mirror outside of the bathroom to get ready while someone is using the bathroom.

Pros:

Decent location and parking on site, although is the highest street back so lots of stairs/hills to climb if walking to Main St (wasn't familiar with the area so didn't realize this when booking, and not a huge deterrent but would try to stay closer to main next time)

Cons:

Pool, jacuzzi and sauna were broken which was super disappointing. Windows need curtains - there was an outside light that just shone through all night and was very disruptive to my sleep. Also, thought I would have a room with a view but it was an awful view of the building behind. Furniture could be updated - for a suite room it was definitely sub par

Cons:

They did not advertise the pool was closed, took a deposit and never returned it, of which I am reporting to the state.

Super convenient and more than adequate.
Pros:

The location was great. The lobby looks nice and inviting.

Cons:

Pool area was closed. The door to the garage was not working. The ac works by would turn off and on. I’m used to the fan staying on even the ac is turned off, so it would wake us up at night. Also, there’s quite the slope in the floor. It didn’t affect the bed thank goodness. It was just kind of funny to walk uphill to get to the bed.

Pros:

The room was big with full kitchen and dining and 2 separate bedrooms. I liked that we could sign into amazon prime and Netflix on the tv

Cons:

Needs updating. Only 1 heating/ac unit worked in just 1 bedroom in whole place and was noisy. Fire place is non working wood burning. Was unhappy that pool, hot tub and sauna were not working and 1 of bedroom doors wouldn't shut due to malaligned. Also, housekeeping staff was really loud at 8:00 am in room next to us blaring their mariachi music.

Pros:

As others have noted, the hotel is old but has already been partially renovated; the pool wasn't operating during our stay (which wasn't an issue) because it was undergoing repairs, so the place is being rejuvenated day by day.

Would go back again!
Cons:

Our one and only complaint may not matter to many guests. It was all cereals, fruit, waffles/bagels... virtually no protein (except milk, a little yogurt, and one of the cereals). We consumed some protein snacks we had and that was OK.
