Reviews and Ratings
I had a disappointing experience at the hotel, especially during my organization's event. The service was lacking, as there was only one waitress for a large group, and the area was overcrowded. While the hotel's appearance is somewhat charming, it does come across as old and in need of updates. On the positive side, the pool view is lovely, but overall, I cannot recommend it due to the service issues during our visit.
I had mixed feelings about my experience at the hotel. While the location was convenient, the service left much to be desired, especially during the event I attended. The dining experience was disappointing as well, with cold food and limited options. Overall, there are definitely areas that need improvement, particularly with staff organization and dining quality.
My stay at the hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The property itself is visually appealing, but the rooms have a bit of an old and dusty feel, and the dining experience was quite limited. Additionally, the noise from a party negatively impacted my ability to relax. Overall, while I appreciate the charm of the place, I'll likely be looking for other options in the future.
I attended a catered function at this hotel which was a mixed experience. The large rooms were great, but the service during the event was lacking. The hotel had some appealing aspects, like the pool and restaurant, but maintenance issues were apparent, and more attention is needed to the dining experience. Overall, there is room for improvement, particularly in service during events.
