“Wonderful family vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 23, 2012

We brought our children and grandchildren to the hotel for a three day family reunion. Although the rooms, themselves, were just OK, the staff and overall facilities were great. There was a nice variety of food, and a lot of it, at breakfast. Due to dietary restrictions, we brought along our own food for dnner, which the staff willingly refrigerated and heated for us. We had dinners outside on the patio near the pool. We were able to use part of the conference center because it wasn't in use. There's a separate play room with slides and climbing equipment that our granchildren (age 4 and under) loved. The indoor pool was also a big hit. Being across the highway from Dutch Wonderland and a short drive to Cherry Crest Farms was really convenient. Our children and grandchildren would like to go back.

“Back to the Future”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

I just returned from a stay at this place...the last time was 35 years ago. It looks like nothing has changed. The white towels and sheets were worn, dingy and grey with age....and I refused to use the bedspread. The sink had rust and shower trickled out. The heater unit ran all night, loud and smelled.
I stayed on the ground level...it felt like and smelled like a basement. Damp, mildew, dank and dark.
I met a number of people who were from the local area attending a bridge tournament and they said "don't eat at the hotel".

Room Tip: Stay at another hotel

“Gross and dated”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

As many have said, this place is not a resort. I too, had to have a room changed because of dead flies and bugs everywhere! From the bed to the floor and even the tables were covered with them. The heat did not work at all and dust covered everything. I was moved to another room that was a bit better but staff seemed not surprised of my disgust of their room. I was here for a conference and was able to experience the food as well. The lack of clean items was apparent from the dirty dishes they were serving the breakfast buffet on to the unwashed coffee cups (4) at my table. The food was dry and looked gross.. I went home tired and hungry. The only good thing about this place was the location of the outlets, however, there are tons of hotels in the area. Do yourself a favor and pic a different place to stay even if your conference is here. I will NEVER stay here again!

Room Tip: Do not stay here...

“Beautifully Decorated for Holidays”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

Very clean! But old and needs some repairs in guest rooms. Peeling ceiling over shower. Noisy heater all night long. Needs more plugs for electronics.
Buffet breakfast is delicious and has a wonderful array of choices. Something for everyone.
The main lobby is beautifully decorated for Christmas!
