I would not recommend this hotel to anyone! This was one of the worst experiences I have had at a hotel. The gentlemen at the front desk was rude, not well groomed, uninformative, unable to give directions for advents in local area. He was unfriendly!
Positives: It had internet.
Negatives: Rundown, hard to find. Management was rude.

Except for the pool, which I desperately wanted to use, but didn't. Everything was fine.
Positives: The view was spectacular. Easy access from I-81.
Negatives: The pool water was green!

This hotel is a dump! It is showing age very badly. The king bed was a piece of foam that left my body aching all over. Thread bare dingy towels in the bathroom. The front desk guy questioned me when I asked for extra towels for my husband and me. The towels he gave me were much nicer beige towels that were probably meant for the pool. Pool was closed! 1st floor on the backside of the hotel was having a block party. I reported it to the front desk and nothing was done about it. People were sitting outside on lawn chairs and the ground. Large beer boxes open on the sidewalk. I called the night before arrival to request a King non-smoking room. The person I spoke to said he made the reservation for it. I get there and the front desk guy says they have no non-smoking king rooms available. This is a three story hotel and it did not look like even 30 cars in the parking lot. I asked for my money back and then the front desk clerk found a non-smoking king room. Carpet smells moldy and looks filthy. The website advertised HBO and it on the channel card as channel 3. We did not have any HBO when we stayed there. The front desk did not answer the phone at 9:30 pm. After several calls, we walked down to get the extra towels and report the outdoor party going on. The next morning, the front desk was not answering again. Walked down to inquire about a late check out. They did grant it for one extra hour. The bed was so crappy that we tried to get some sleep again to no avail despite the late check out. Continental breakfast was not worth the trip downstairs. some OJ, milk, cereal in canisters that sat there all the time, a box of doughnuts, a basket of bagels, a tray of white bread/jellies, and coffee.
Positives: The beautiful hillside location. Great views from the front side of the hotel.
Negatives: Continental breakfast was pitiful. Front desk staff not concerned that I called ahead and was told I could have the King non-smoking room.
