Pros:

Lovely older hotel very conveniently located. Friendly staff. Comfortable beds. Breakfast included had hot eggs, bacon & potatoes as well as toast and cereal options. Dinner only available 3 nights a week, but plenty of local options. Will stay here again

A “real“ hotel that felt gracious, not an ironic take on “old-fashioned” graciousness.
Pros:

Perfect East Coast classic hotel, and by that I don’t mean stuffy but well appointed, tasteful, with lots of special details like books and magazines to read, some historical displays that connect you to the location. Comfortable couches to sink into in the common areas, with fireplace, games to play. Cozy timbered bar. Pool table. Little nooks where you could work quietly. We loved our room, which was very comfortable and tasteful. Great bed and pillows and an actual comforter instead of just a sheet and stiff coverlet as one usually finds in the summertime. Slept like a dream. We were in the upper building and its lobby is a pleasure to walk into, smells wonderful too. The grounds behind are fun to explore. Lots of birds and baby bunnies bouncing through the garden. The pool is magnificent! Perfect temperature, with a dramatic backdrop of towering pines. Heaven. All the staff that we encountered were friendly and helpful. Coffee available anytime and there was wine cheese and crackers in the lobby when we checked in. Breakfast was copious. Tons of parking & not far to go for restaurants or shopping. So, overall - loved that it was a “real“ hotel that felt gracious, not an ironic take on old-fashioned graciousness.

Cons:

Simply that i I’m not entirely convinced that it’s not more cost-effective to have real plates and silverware at breakfast, that could be washed in the restaurant’s dish machine each day… It breaks my heart to use and throw away so much single use paper and plastic. The trash can at 9 am was very already full of barely used plates and utensils and the hotel wasn’t that crowded when we were there. Even if it cost a bit more, I’d give the Hotel mega points for being ecologically responsible 🙂

Wedding accommodation
Pros:

Big pool, great breakfast buffet especially the waffles and Vermont maple syrup, hot shower with good pressure.

Cons:

The beds have springs that I could feel. Didn’t like having to pay additional resort fees.

All front!
Pros:

Very disappointing! The hotel looks decent enough on arrival - nice foyer area, comfy sofas - but it stops there.

Not much of a welcome at reception; room smelt of old socks; tatty stairwell/communal space; bathroom fittings corroded and discoloured; dark room with inadequate lighting.....

I could go on but this just about sums it up - paper plates and plastic cutlery for the buffet breakfast!

Pros:

Stile raffinato, struttura molto ben mantenuta, piscina e parco molto bellii

Cons:

Mi sarebbe piaciuto poter aprire le finestre in camera. Avevo chiesto durante la prenotazione di far togliere il piumone sul letto ma non é stato fatto

FAN-TAS-TIC!!
Pros:

I have written my opinion in this section twice and accidentally closed the email and lost everything.
So please allow me to say everything, from the staff to the amenities, was FAN-TAS-TIC!! I will definitely return.

Cons:

This is not the hotel's fault, per se, but when I arrived, there was a poop in the toilet. Not a great first impression, but really, all the excellent qualities and experiences over-shadowed that one problem.

Hotel rooms need a complete makeover!
Pros:

We had a funeral so booked last minute. Rooms shown online are very different from old room we occupied. Towels great! Black mold behind toliet! Disgusting!
Heater so noisey. The bathroom and room need a complete makeover. Safe on top shelf of closet. Impossible to reach!!
All other newer hotels were booked.
The furniture in the reception area is so depressing, crowded and old and dark! So uninviting.
Mold is in room 205!!

Disappointing
Pros:

We stayed here last year and loved it. This time we were in the annex building, first in a room for which the keys would not work and then in a room that didn’t seem to have working heat. It was 55 degrees when we arrived and only warmed up to 62 overnight. The staff seems stressed about parking in such a way that allows for plowing but our lots was never plowed for the entire weekend, which meant postponing through 6 inches of snow

Cons:

Oops, please see above.

Comfortable hotel
Pros:

The room was large and the bed comfy and the bathroom well equipped.

Cons:

We thought the breakfast was disappointing. There was no plain yoghurt and most disappointing of all was the paper plates and plastic cutlery.

Overall we were very satisfied. Kids enjoyed their time .
Pros:

Hotel amenities were great. Pool was wonderful and it didn’t feel like we were at a hotel at all. The game room was a nice opportunity for the kids to play and unwind. Breakfast was good but needs to be checked on more often to ensure food is not burning.

Cons:

Room was outdated but cozy. The mattress was in need of replacement and the dresser drawers smelled old and musty. Upkeep around the hotel is needed. Overgrown vegetation needs to be cleaned up and the area of the chess board needs to be cleaned up or moved to a better location.
