The property is very dated. There are actually signs on the exterior doors stating that they are going to remodel soon, but that is not helpful to someone who will never need to stay in that area again. Also, there is no elevator, so if you must stay there and have difficulty climbing stairs make sure you request a first floor room. The check-in clerk was extremely rude. There was a couple in front of me who walked up to the second floor to check in. The clerk said "Hey guys - you are on the first floor." And she rolled her eyes when she said it. She then mumbled something about the room number being on the room pass she gave them. I said "pardon me?" and she said "I was just taking to myself." I went down to the breakfast area to get a coffee in the morning. Someone had burned their toast and the alarms started going off. None of the staff seemed interested and did not bother to open a door to let the smoke out. There were raccoons in the back parking lot during the day - very brazenly scavenging the open dumpster and the open trash barrels that are located next to the doors to the parking lot. They were not afraid of me trying to shush them away. There was chewed up trash on the ground next to the trash barrels both mornings I stayed there - my guess is that it was from the raccoons. I wouldn't stay there again.

Poorly maintained

Born and raised in the area and having worked for original owner, I couldn’t believe how dilapidated this hotel has become. This is a potential goldmine that the current owners are neglecting so poorly that I would never recommend to ANYONE!! Do NOT believe the photos they have posted; they are beyond deceiving. Poorly maintained (and obviously managed), with hundreds of simple, inexpensive fixes that could make this property at least three stars if not four. And these fixes could generate twice the occupancy as well as the ability to sell the rooms out at a higher rate. It’s a Goldmine going to junk. One example: two abandoned tires sitting outside of my room’s window during the three days I was there!!! Why they weren’t cleared away is beyond comprehension. I really wish I knew the owner(s)/management so that I could help them bring this property back to the goldmine it is. But I honestly doubt that they even care, just from witnessing the amount of neglect that simple, inexpensive fixes that could be done so extremely easily. I was so looking forward to staying here during my visit home. It broke my heart to witness its poor condition and obvious lack of care for the hotel and property. Do NOT stay here!! The owners obviously need to feel the pain of low occupancy in order to be motivated enough to start caring for this once Gem of Chesterton and The Dunes. So brokenhearted.
