"This could have been so much better but did not live up to its promise. We really wanted to love it!
It is priced too high considering nearly everything was “closed for the season”. We would have been better off just staying in a cheaper basic hotel. Pools closed, restaurants closed, bars closed. There was a nightly resort fee - but what did that get us when nearly everything in the resort was closed? They also charged for basic things which most more affordable hotels provide free - like bottled water or coffee.
The condition of the property was decent but definitely showing a lot of wear and tear. Carpets are threadbare, stained and shaggy, and coming up off steps in most places. The windows in our room had condensation in-between the panes and were hard to see out of. Things like that…
It was clean and staff was friendly. The one restaurant they had open was decent but not amazing. They did make good stiff drinks.
The property itself is amazing - and it’s such an iconic resort with a cool history, I hope the new owners start putting some money into it.
The location is kind of isolated, which made having all the stuff closed all the more annoying.
Also - be aware, the large conference facilities mean that there can be large groups there. Our stay included Fraternity/Sorority groups one week and High school kids a different week. They were mostly in other buildings - but were generally partying all over the place."
