No one at the front desk at 7pm. Waited for more than half an hour so far and called the number with no answer. Very unimpressed and the hotel is quite dirty.
In reply to the response from the owner:
Yes, she did answer my seventh phone call. The first 6 went unanswered. Having one staff person to cover a medium to large sized hotel is not really the staff persons issue. My review was meant for you owner who understaffs. Not the staff person who was running around trying to do the work of 3 people.

Easy check in, rooms are clean and new as renovations were going on.
Nice breakfast layout.
Swimming pool looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months, the black hardened build up on the pool edges was proof it had been there a long time.
The hot tub was filthy and could tell that there is no one cleaning it nor the pool.
I told the front front desk and the lady just made the normal response that they have maintenance people looking after it.
Disgusting is best way to describe it.
Anyways outside of looking at the pool the rooms are nice and you can wonder across the parking lot to the completion and have a pretty good meal.

Edit: Not sure what has happened to this usually solid hotel, but I was completely turned off this weekend. Had a quick, late check-in. Got into the room around 10 to find urine all over the toilet and the floor in front of the toilet. Put some towels down so we could walk in the floor in our socks. Next morning complained and expected the room to be clean when we came back that evening. I thought it might be my imagination when we returned and urine was still on the floor. I wiped just a small bit with a damp facecloth and it was disgusting. Obviously not mopped or clean. I used to come here several days a year... will never be back. NEW OWNERSHIP IS TERRIBLE.

Was not aware they were actively doing renovations when booking the room. It was very, very loud from 8am to 8pm.
Bed was extremely uncomfortable and bed frame was very noisy.
Ran out of hot water when showering. Contacted front desk, and was told the hotel always runs out of hot water when fully booked, or have sports teams staying. Was clear they did not care at all, extremely disappointing customer service.
Not enough parking.
Skip the frustration and pick a different hotel.
