Vacations Close To Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre

The room was clean. The staff was friendly, but not incredibly accommodating. The hotel was in an impressive place on the river. I asked for a room facing the river. I was told they couldn't because they were "at 85% capacity". The cars in the parking lot and the number of rooms available was closer to 8.5% capacity. The building itself was at, one time presumably, gorgeous. Perhaps in the 70's...but clearly had it's best times behind it. The restaurant, bar, ballroom, etc were long since closed...perhaps decades since. It looks as such. Despite the previous glory of the hotel grounds itself, it is more on par with that of a "Super 8, Motel 6, etc". The room itself was nice. Also, it wasn't until after I booked that the hotel sent me a message with the notice of a surprise fee of $10/day for vehicle parking on their private lot...which aforementioned had plenty of empty space.

What a disappointment. From the moment we checked in, I knew we should have gone somewhere else. The fella at the front desk was rude. When we got to the room, it was warm. The bathroom was filthy. Behind the door there was dust buildup - it looked like the door was opened but never cleaned behind. The air vents were filthy and hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. The rear access door didn’t work. The pool was closed. Breakfast was sub-par. The eggs were runny, there was no place to get water, even the plastic ware was terrible. The knives were so flimsy you couldn’t cut the waffle. The muffins were half-frozen. They should spend more on maintaining and updating the property and less on signs telling guests what they cannot do - like “do not take the food out of the breakfast area” and “no liquids in the trash.” Even the booth chair was peeling, so they used one of the old bed runners to cover it up.

It was nice, but their staff really didn't provide a proper number of new towels when we were there multiple days and requested fresh towels. Other than that, the stay was wonderful. Very romantic and provided a great romantic getaway.

The hotel is under construction. The newly renovated room is clean. But the noice from construction is hard to ignore. Hope I know it before booking. The staffs are very nice.
