The only complaint that I have is that our pool was closed for maintenance not once did it state that online and no one said anything to us when we checked in. We had to find out on our own after we had already gotten dressed to go swimming and walked down to the pool and there was a sign That closed for maintenance

No tv due to snow on dish for tv. How does a hotel have an issue with tv due to snow especially when the snow was only about an inch. Would look for a different service since this hotel is in the snow area.
