There are only two tables to sit at in the breakfast area. We weren’t there at a busy time and still had trouble sitting somewhere

Disliked: Amenities
Very old and outdated. Poor breakfast choices. Bathroom was dirty. Would not offer an upgrade in room unless I paid over 50 dollars a night extra. Needed a different room because my husband had back surgery and there is no elevator there and could not do the stairs.

Needs some updating but it is a good Christmas vibe!
Staff cool and distant. Coffee like water and hotel needs a good inside upgrade. The hotel’s outside structure is appealing so why not the inside? Not what we envisioned when we booked our stay there, given the name of their town.
The check-in process was the easiest I have seen in a long time. The room was welcoming as was the lodge. The pool area was well kept for the use we saw there. Great for an overnight stay with a good breakfast. It was off-season so I assume they have more available in high season. Although, I was traveling with no kids and did not check out the recreation room and other offers.

We visited after Thanksgiving and expected it to be very festive. The hotel is very clean, but outdated. The mattresses were very uncomfortable in the family suite. Everything about the place is outdated. The breakfast was very limited and the conference room for extra seating was very cold. The pool area was kept clean, except for the spa was pretty dirty. Check-in was easy and friendly for the price of the family suite I was quite disappointed in the lack of comfort and that there wasn’t even a smart TV. The walls were also very thin and we could hear everything going on in the other rooms.

Very nice quite town but still close to walmart other stores etc. The staff was very friendly. Rooms was clean and supplied. Their is a restaurant within walking distance from the hotel. They have a big pond that you can fish as long as you catch and release.
Clean room. comfortable bed. courteous helpful staff . No fridge in room. Trouble with tv volume some channels fuzzy. Small bathroom low toilet great hot water and water pressure. Breakfast sparsely stocked basically waffles and cold cereal. No bread products or bagels to toast. But we did stay post peak season
