Rooms are clean, the lighting in the bathrooms are dim, this place does have roaches. The in-house bar needs a bartender, he don’t know the difference between bourbon and vodka, like it’s his first day being around alcohol, nothing is close by within walking distance for eating or shopping, you have to drive to get anything since this place is hidden in the woods a mile and a half. EV charging is for other EVs other that a Tesla so make sure you have an adaptor and they charge .50 an hour and it’s a very slow charger

A not good Stay at Hilton

Well the fan in the bathroom did not work causing excessive humidity and my spouse hair responded to it. The bathroom tub was slippery and I fell. The tub faucet was loose. Then, ask for a late check out because my spouse had to redo their hair and was allowed 30 minutes. A not so positive stay. Additionally went to get coffee at 9:30 AM and the regular was out and I had to wait for more to be brewed. Not a good stay

Kristi

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
My daughter had one wish for her 4th birthday: to stay in a hotel. I chose this one because of the indoor pool and the inviting outdoor space by the pond — and I’m so glad we did. Was it perfect? No. The indoor pool area could use some upgrades — safer, less slippery floors, actual pool towels, and better air circulation to cut the humidity (and the echo, which was real 😅). But the room was clean, the bed was super comfortable, and most importantly, it gave my kids space to laugh, splash, and play without bothering anyone else. They had a blast swimming while it stormed outside and then frog-hunting by the pond when the skies cleared. But what made our stay truly memorable was Julia, a kind and observant housekeeper we met in passing. She noticed it was my daughter’s birthday — and later came back to gift her $5, explaining someone had left her a tip and she wanted to “gift Kayte what she had been gifted.” That simple, selfless gesture blew me away. What a beautiful moment of kindness from a complete stranger — to a four-year-old, no less. That experience alone earns this hotel a 5/5 in my book. We’ll definitely be back for another local staycation.

This property cancelled our reservation on the morning of our trip and did not contact expedia to notify us in a timely manner. This property informed us twice to contact the third party expedia for the reason why our reservation was cancelled and expedia was unaware this had happened. In truth, through no fault of expedia or the property frozen pipe had damaged the rooms we were to be placed in. The bad thing was employees did not let expedia know nor us in a timely manner. Expedia was excellent in assisting us.

Not only were there bees flying around the room (4 of them that I had to kill) but there were bugs crawling around the room. The staff messed up my reservation so I had to wait to get a refund while paying for the hotel room again. Essentially I paid for a 3 night stay when I only stayed for 2 nights. Staff was disrespectful and rude. I was put on the first floor right across from a noisy party that kept me up all day. Had to go sit in my car just to get some time to sit in quiet. This was a really bad experience and I would strongly recommend not staying here.
