Negative Reviews
negative:
Pet fees
Guests who have traveled with pets have enjoyed being able to have these stay in the room with them. However, some pet owners have found the fee on the high side, especially since it is non-refundable, even in the case of no damage.
negative:
Pool and spa closure
Reviews reveal that guests have been disappointed by the closure of the pool and spa tub over winter, especially since winters are fairly mild here. Indoor facilities would be preferable to avoid the need to close these facilities.
negative:
Minor issues
Guests find very few areas of concern at this hotel. Issues do crop up from time to time, of course, but like the high pet fees and pool closure over winter, these are fairly minor issues. Guests have mentioned that ice machines are located on a single floor and occasional housekeeping shortfalls.
