Lovely little getaway for the summer

Liked:The amenities on site and the friendly staff

Disliked:It’s dated and has mold in certain places in the shower. Also, no hair dryer, iron or microwave, which I assumed for the price it would be in ever suite. Also wish they utilize the bar area in the back to maybe serve small plates or hand held for happy hour. Nothing too crazy just something simple on site would be nice.

Do NOT book third floor, especially room 303! Repulsive odor!

Liked:Upon checking in, we exited the elevator onto the third floor and were welcomed by an unpleasant odor as soon as the doors opened. The smell was still present half-way down the hall in my mother's room 310. We returned past the elevator to our room 303 and were smacked in the face with a putrid stench when we opened the door. I wanted to vomit, but kept my composure for the rest of my family. We booked the resort for a family getaway for 19 people so we were determined to make it work. We unloaded our luggage and notified staff of the odor. He claimed he could not smell the odor, but checked the AC filters were not clogged, then provided me with "new car smell" spray to mask the odor. I sprayed every fabric and carpet surface, especially the prominent greasy hair stain on the right end of the couch back cushion, with no success in reducing the smell. We opened all windows and left AC fans and bath exhaust running to pull in fresh air as we left for dinner. After dinner, we purchased a can of lysol and sprayed throughout the suite, with little reduction in the horrendous odor. Still committed to the family getaway, we commenced opening the hide-a-bed sofa mattresses and found huge gross stains on the mattress covers, broken mattress support springs which allowed the mattress to sag under the tubular frame, and food crumbs under the couches. I once again found a staff person, which was now the night-shift staffer named Rick. He stated "this is not how we operate". He offered a smaller room or change the mattresses. Neither offer was satisfactory under normal circumstances as we would have packed up and gone down the road if it were not for the family event. By this time, my 2 year-old grandson was asleep so my daughter did not want to wake him and we decided the alternate room was too small in the first place. We had the mattresses changed so we could make it work for the family. Every time I passed the front desk I updated them on the smell and how opening the windows helped some, but the odor was still there, permeating every piece of fabric we owned. I asked them if they had any machinery to clean upholstery (referring to the greasy hair stain) and was told by two staffers at the desks simultaneously that they had tried everything to remove the stain. To that response I suggested the novel idea of replacing the couches. To top it off, there was a bug in the room. The "resort" charged average of $299.00/night which came to average $334.88 after taxes and fees. I was never offered a rate reduction, refund, free stay, or credit toward a future stay. The outdoor facilities are okay for the kids, but the room experience severely impacted our Lake Erie family getaway. This "resort" will not be getting any more of our money.
