Clean room, helpful staff and fabulous, full breakfast. Our complimentary VIP Access drink was easy to procure. The property is slightly dated but everything was clean and kept up. Lots of personality! Didn't use the pool but visited the pool area and it looked fun and was in use. You can swim from indoor to outdoor pool. You need to tell them if you want room cleaning done, otherwise they don't clean until you leave. We didn't know this.

Staff was very friendly throughout our stay. However we had two main areas of concern. 1. The bathroom in our room was not the cleanest - crumbs and hair on the floor. 2. The pool - WAY too much chlorine OR poor ventilation. Within 15 minutes of being in the pool area our eyes were burning and watering. Our 4 young kids could not stop coughing and felt "Like I couldn't breathe". It was dangerously high levels so we left. We notified staff and they said they would check into it..

Enjoyed the large room. Huge bed. Lovely hot tub. Fireplace was great. Room was super clean. However they missed the wasp nest in the window (we noticed and shut the window do they couldn't get in the room). And that our soap and shampoo were all empty. Otherwise in the Cottages it was great. Loved the community rooms. Pool area was very nice tho sauna has been out of order for well over a year now. Excerixe facilities were nice. Parking was very convenient. Main hotel seems to need updates. Cottages not so much. WiFi worked well tho it should be secured. Hot water never ran out. All amenities in the king with the hot tub were great. Staff were great all 2x we interacted with them. Whoever was near us Sunday night though had their music cranked with bass for about 6 hours straight or longer. Til well past midnight. We didn't work the next day so we let it go. Will definitely be back.
