I hope that this reaches as many people as it can. The real question is where to start. The back of the hotel was nothing but a junk yard. Broken down things rusted out, there was a trailer next to the hotel that was painted up like a wilderness scene to hide the fact that it was falling apart.
The service at the desk was okay but the person at the desk was not dressed in any formal attire for a hotel staff.
The rooms were nothing special to speak of, circa 1950 throughout and never updated. Furniture is dilapidated and in ill repair. The bathrooms looked clean but the shower curtains and ceiling had mold on them and were slimy to touch. There was no adequate pressure in the shower to speak of, almost non-existent. Turn water on full blast in the sink and you'd get a trickle. The toilet system took three to four times to flush.
The floors were dusty and had dirt on them and in the corners.
There were utensils and plates and kitchenettes in the rooms but I don't think I dared to touch any of them. There was a sponge on the sink, that was really nasty.
The beds were all washed but the linens didn't smell crisp and clean. More like stale and musty. They had those nasty white fuzzys all over them. All of the mattresses had a sag in them. They were not safe at all as the ones that we slept on, the smaller twin one slipped off the wooden frame that it was sitting on.
The air conditioner in the place smelled like it had not been cleaned properly as it had this foul odor emanating from it when it was turned on and was plugged up with gunk.
There were no proper electrical outlets in the room. The ones that were there had extension cords running under the beds and were plugged in to the walls near the beds. This easily can cause a fire.
There were no clocks in the rooms anywhere!!! Thank god for the modern cell phone alarm clock.
The rate that was charged.......Outrageous!!!! I could have and I should have stayed at the comfort inn or another place for three nights what I paid for this place.
There was only one patched & rusted spiral staircase to the second floor. This was amazing to me, as with all of the new fire codes. Yet there was an old ladder fastened to the building with a few screws. But I don't think that it could be used at all during a fire as someone would fall trying to reach it. If they didn't fall trying to reach it they would definitely hurt themselves trying to get to the ground as it was over 7 feet off the ground.
To walk around the grounds was okay, but just don't look at the property in great detail, hanging wires from cable extensions, doctored up boards, falling roofs, no proper lighting around for walking areas.
We won't even get into the reviews and documents from the state about the insufficiency of the owners to comply with state regulations of water samples. All of the federal grant money that they have received and awards from the town. I think that people need to adjust there vision goggles a bit for those too!!!( All of that can be found on the internet, too!!!!)
Had I not known all of this in advance I would have never stayed there.
After talking with the owners, the long hours and hours of driving from the city and the description of the wonderful rustic experience that we would have. I was looking for a nice quaint place in new england by a beautiful lake.
Instead I got this, had I known this I would have never stayed there......I can only hope that this reaches as many people as it possibly can as I am going to send this to as many sites as I can find. In hopes that no one will have the awful and disgusting stay as I did.
