Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
When I first checked in the room, they gave me had absolutely no bedding on it, and the door wasn’t even fully closed. And it was dirty then when I went to the front desk and told them they gave me another room that was supposedly their updated one. It was in very poor condition and apart from that I also always inspect mattresses at the hotels I stay in and there was proof that there had been or it was bedbugs. I immediately went back to the front desk and told him I did not want to stay there, and I had to book another hotel last minute Through hotwire this is not what I was expecting after a 7 Hour Drive they also did not want to refund me my money even though I did not end up staying horrribl horrible horrible stay away!

Very friendly staff, nice looking property and comfortable room. Only problem was the air condition sounded like it was exploding every couple hours…loud enough to be frightening and wake us up throughout the night.

All the staff here were incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. I also really enjoyed how accessible everything was without a car. There was a great food lab type area in the windmill with a great variety of many cultures. If you wanted to do any shopping there was a great outdoor outlet just across the street. The venue and dinning hall itself was great as well. Great place to stay even if you aren't attending a specific even there.
