The staff was very attentive. I stayed due to an impending snowstorm and they made the stay great. The offered to let me use a conference room for a zoom call and even brought be a robe when I was in the hot tub! They are doing some cosmetic work to the front of the building so was tentative when I came I . But with the wonderful staff and nice amenities it’s a great place to stay. And a cool place to have a family weekend (there’s and arcade m/pool/outdoor games).
The bleach smell after cleaning was strong in my room, but the switches me rooms immediately.

Why I rate this place so high is because of the staff they are the most friendly people I have ever met. I have never been greeted in such a way that I felt I was visiting old friends. They upgraded my room when they realized how big my dogs were so it would be easier for me to take them out. When I ordered food it was brought to my room and again a really friendly experience. If you need a place to stay in the area just stay here I don’t normally write reviews but I wanted to show the staff my appreciation in some way.

We enjoyed the music playing when we arrived in the entryway and lobby. Such a nice added experience. The staff are extremely kind and helpful. 9-10pm adult only swim time was nice.
The food in the "supper club" area. It could be better. The charcuterie board had a lot of food, but the options weren't up to typical standards.

The breakfast was very good. Presented very well. The decor was unique. We loved the bar atmosphere. The pool was very inviting however we did not have our swim suits. The staff was very helpful.
The price was very high due to it being parents weekend for the university. The lighting in the hallway was a little dark and uninviting. There were dogs barking.

The one stop shop features was nice. Live jazz music in the bar/restaurant and arcade area, pool and hot tub with corn hole and snack bar. Beautiful environment and decor. Ilike that they bought out an old hotel and made it new from the inside out. Lovely!
Weather haha! it was freezing

The beds were very comfortable. The staff was friendly. Location was good and easy to find.
Our room was located near some very noisy people. Not the hotels fault by any means but it definitely made our stay less enjoyable. Both during the late evening (after 9pm) and morning (8am) there were multiple people walking the halls talking rather loudly on their phones. Also some very rambunctious kids. The breakfast was picked through and not much available at 9:30am. I grabbed a couple muffins which were very tasty. Coffee was good but the cups weren't the cleanest but I need my coffee so I just assumed the heat of the coffee would kill whatever ickyness was left in the cup.

Loved the vibe of this hotel. It was a perfect retreat from a long.road trip. Amenities were great. The sitting spaces throughout the hotel for having a chat and drink were fantastic. If you love something a bit different. With a cool vibe it's a great hotel, located right off of I 80. Very convenient. Had dinner there and it was fresh and delicious.

The staff was super friendly. Free adult drink for your first drink was nice. Free coffee, pop and yogurt 24 hours a day. The pool area was awesome. Bar was great. The only negative is you cannot have your own snacks or drinks anywhere in the hotel except your room. Other than that had a great time. Would definitely recommend and go again.
Pizza was good but too expensive. Could not have snacks or your own drinks anywhere in the hotel accept your room

the texting option to communicate with front desk staff. I also asked a staff member where to find the snack shack and instead of saying oh around the coroner then turn right they walked me all the way to the destination and made sure what i was looking for was available.
