This hotel was built in 1901 or around then, there have been absolutely no upgrades! The rooms were dirty, stained tub and toilet. The beds creaked every time u rolled over, only good thing was the view, unfortunately the windows were so. dirty u could barely see it. Pool and hot tub closed for no reason!

Room was incredibly small. Bed wasn’t even on the frame, bed frame itself was sticking on on both sides at the foot of the bed which was horrible during the night to remember to move around. Exposed wiring with merriments showing under the baseboard heater, (also found a dried cigarette along the wiring and a dime beside the bed on the floor. Not well cleaned and safety measures should be taken for wiring.

No heat in room. Maintenance finally came. Had a hard time to get him to leave the room. Couldn’t fix it. He came by when we were out. Forgot his keys so came back when we were getting ready for bed. TV stopped working. Woke up to soaking wet floor slipped on bathroom floor due to wet feet in middle of night. I understand it is an old hotel. Could have been really nice with our water view. Staff was wonderful and we were refunded

Heat was on full upon arrival, tried to turn down and control knob came off in my hand. Contacted front desk and security attended, “did his best”, hear was lessened but remained on. Windows did not have fly screens so unable to open those, ran the AC all night but it was still very hot. Toilet flushed but did not empty, had to fill it with hot water using the recycling bin multiple times in order to remove waste. General cleanliness was acceptable but not ideal. Placed drinks in the fridge along with some leftovers, in the morning the drinks were warm and we had to discard the food. Upon check out the receptionist did not ask how the stay was, I informed her if the issues, her response was to say “sorry to hear that.” I would very much advise against staying.
