While the rooms were fine with lots of space and walk in showers, they never came in cleaned the whole time we were there (4 nights), and we had no hot water the last two days due to frozen pipes. They were also not on top of shoveling and clearing the snow in front of the hotel, we had to ask them to do it which was necessary for my 90 year old father-in-law.
