It’s clear that they are busy renovating this property, but the fact they are still renovating and charging top dollar is a problem. This will be a great place when they’ve finished.
A few things they need to work on : 1. Main bar/ reception area is tastefully decorated and the amazingly friendly staff always on hand, but when you first walk through the door you are met with a strong odour of sewage gas.
2. We were in one of lower rooms which faces the pond. In order to get to the fire pits, breakfast or hot tub you need to walk through the unmade parking lot. Not ideal when it’s wet.
3. The room itself was spacious but is extremely poorly laid out. There’s a nice gas fireplace but no seating near it. The bathroom is clearly from pre reno era, it’s small, extremely poorly lit, and water takes a good 5 minutes to get up to temperature. The bathroom fan is louder than a 1975 VW Beetle with a broken muffler! There’s nowhere to put on makeup, plus the lighting overall in the room makes that impossible. My wife gave up trying! Finally the end table were curved, slated chairs so be careful with glass of water. It’s an end table not end chair guys. The blinds were incorrectly installed leaving a 4 gap all around the sides…..I could go on but you get the gist.
4. The hot tub area is brand new but lacks character - it’s a mass of wood with very little landscaping.
Fix these, easily addressed, issues and AWOL can be a great place to stay. It’s not there yet.
