Jan

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Hotel was okay but pretty old. Musty, heavy perfume smell, enough to have to change rooms. Rooms were okay, check in staff was great. Didn't use any amenities, so can't speak to those. Biggest problem was the lighting. It was so poor over the mirror, putting on makeup or anything else needing a reflection was poor. Couldn't see anything. Pretty major for a woman getting ready for an event.

I highly recommend if you’re only staying for a little while the hot tub and the pool were basically empty when my boyfriend and I went but that might be because this is just a great hidden gem in the town of boiling springs!
