We had another good stay at this property. It’s our goto spot for Winterlude. Only concern was the elevator was out of order one morning and required us to walk down and back up 8 stories for breakfast. Despite this random issue, we will continue to use this each family day weekend.

We specifically stayed at this hotel for the pool. The pool was freezing and our 7 year old would not even stay in it for more than a minute. I jumped in and got right out because it was so cold. As well our smoke detector had a plastic bag over it which is super weird and it was there because they were doing maintenance. The room smelled like cigarette smoke so bad we had to air it out. The heater for the room had not been cleaned in I don't know how long and it smelt like burning dust. I will never stay there again and as a best Western loyalty member I will be complaining as well
