Beautiful Hotel - Room Mix-up + Room Charges

First off, this hotel was beautiful and clean! There were some service issues - We were given the same room number as another couple and had to go downstairs with the couple to get it sorted out. We had to correct the email address and credit card on file, as well. We were all pretty perplexed on how the mix-up happened. Also, we were charged $15 + tax for the StillWater in the room, even though we had VIP perks that gave us each a free beverage. I had to ask twice to get the charge removed. We loved our room once we got the room issues corrected! Everything was very clean, and the beds were very comfortable. We’d likely stay there again and hope to not have future issues with our room and bill!

The discription said the room had a patio. It didn't whatsoever. And the entire interior was very dark. But it was very quaint and clean and located walking distance from our event.

Choo choo!! Blew blew

The hotel has no microwave! You have a fridge and no way to heat items. Ice is only available downstairs! The check in person did not know directions to the room and it is not an accommodating hotel for the price. Parking was ok because the event center took most of it at night. Close to decent restaurants. Overall not impressed!!!

Great place to stay

From check in to check out, this was a great stay. Front desk was friendly and welcoming upon check in. Questions answered quickly. When we checked out, the young lady thanked us for staying with them. Room was spacious with comfortable furniture and really comfortable bedding. It was a bit of a challenge to get the temperature where we wanted it. It was either too warm or too cool. Bathroom was well appointed with good size walk in shower with great water pressure. Body wash, shampoo and conditioner were furnished. Great location close to everything we wanted to do. Next time we will stay in one of the train cars.

Huge puddle in front of my door. I asked them to clear, they did not . Ice was melting from top of my train car so I had to walk through dripping from entry. Ice clumps could have been swept. Instead they fell on my head !
