Vacations Close To Laurel Hill State Park

I’ve been staying at this hotel for 2 nites every Aug as a pick up/drop off point for a family vacation for the past 15 years. The few great things I can say is the beds are very comfortable, the bedding soft & clean, free cable tv & the location is perfect for those without a vehicle; walking distance to stores & restaurants. Breakfast is minimal, only protein- yogurt!! But I’m sad to say it’s continuing in a downward spiral year after year. Breakfast was out of cream cheese, orange juice & coffee & breakfast was to be served another 45 minutes! Check-in took much longer than it should have with a paid reservation. Btw…The airport shuttle is now $10 each way. You must pay at the hotel, the drivers do not collect any money. At check in I found it odd I was told to report any issues with my room asap. Although I see some improvements year over year, it’s like putting lipstick on a pig at this point. This hotel is really old and needs a lot more work than it gets. New lock pads on the doors were installed but many doors still don’t close tightly (i’ve had to change rooms in past years cause of that yet the doors are still catty wompus.) Another example… new faucets in the bathroom sink; the top of the faucet came off in my hand, screw was missing! Bathroom overall is filthy; black mold by the shower head, toilet dirty, bathroom door dirty, light switch, missing knob & dirty. The housekeeper’s cart rusty. Yuk! This place needs a major renovation, not “lipstick”.
