There is something very nostalgic about staying in a hotel like this. The interior-facing rooms with balconies looking down on the pool and game area definitely takes you back to the hotel experience of the 80s and 90s. It was unlike anything my 8-year old had ever seen and she was absolutely thrilled (and mad we didn't stay a second night). Altogether we had a great experience. Cons were that the beds are a tad on the small side and that it was tough to be in the pool for too long because the air in the pool area was far too cold.

The interior was lile nothing I've ever seen and it was a little bit like the backrooms. Very cool building and great room. The plumbing definitely needs work and the pillows could be a bit bigger, but a great hotel nonetheless!

The room we had was on the 1st floor. When we arrived the room had ac over abundance of deodorizer. It was almost nauseating. Eventually, this wore off and the smell of damp wetness set in from the restroom area. I could tell they had a water leak issue in the recent past. It really ramped up when we used the shower. That was a long 3 days. Overall the rest of the hotel was pleasant.

Do better
The furniture in my suite needed to be cleaned. There appeared to be food in the chair. I did not use the jacuzzi because it did not feel clean to touch. The elevator needs some attention and there was some man yelling profanities in the hallway the first night there.

Not too bad but not great
The service staff is great. Very friendly and helpful. I was told that they were in the process of remodeling. The pool was closed. The room was pretty nice but had some issues. It definitely wasn’t as pictured online. It looks like maybe they started to remodel this room, but never finished it. I attached pictures of some issues that I found with the room. Torn carpet, stains on the wallpaper, dust, bunnies on the air vent, etc..

wifey smokes so that is fab and of course allowing pets and yes the free breakfast is good but even way fab is having a restaurant in the building and even though some oddities; our room PH and TV not connected I was able to figure out one and they sent near immediately albeit way late (2:00am) to fix and had a lovely grand chat (this was an occasional worker not a std emp [and again, the std emps give immediate service])

Recreation Area
Other reviews were right. Very nice old fashioned Hotel. Pool area great EXCEPT there was NO hot tub. I thought there was and that’s why we reserved it. We were looking forward to it after long day of driving but it did not exist. So, we didn’t even use the pool. The 2nd night we used the pool because it was nice and we wanted some relaxing. But, no hot tub was a surprise.
