Pool bummer

The stay was nice but was disappointed when told at check in that the pool was closed for repairs. Had I known this I wouldn’t have stayed there. The website should have had a banner stating the pool’s condition.

Pool area was under repair. Supposedly, to be finished by Memorial Day. Highly unlikely. Lining of pool needs concrete repair and then replaster pool. Then needs to dry, cure, and be refilled. Our opinion....might be done 4th of July. No mention on website. Rates should be discounted due to lack of notice that pool was out of order. Otherwise, hotel is central but off main street. Quiet street and dining within a few blocks of hotel. Hotel is pristine.
