アシュランドのスパ付きホテル

Lovely spot just outside Ashland downtown proper (not walking distance) with gardens and a salt water pool. Rooms are well accented, with lots of closet space and good TV, and water pressure. Nice touch with cookies and scones for afternoon tea. One can take a mineral bath in the room, and indeed all the water (showers and taps) have a mineral taste (and mild smell). Bottled water is provided. Breakfast was fairly routine but nice. Plenty of parking available.

One can't fault the rooms with their pleasing decor and comfortable furnishings. We were fortunate to be on the 4th floor, because there is only one elevator with a limit of 5 people. The second night I realized the HVAC system was dehydrating us, the suction being so strong. It took me a while to figure out how to change the settings. Although we were often out of the room during the day, we did not always get room service. When we went for tea and cookies the one day we decided to go, the room was closed, but nothing was posted about the change in location. That said, the continental breakfast has many choices and is well-managed! The Lark Restaurant is one of the best in town, but get a reservation early!

The hotel itself seemed nice and had we reserved a typical room it probably would have been satisfactory but we reserved the Manhattan Suite which was clean and lovely but didn’t have the functionality that we had upgraded for. That being a separate living area from the bedroom and a bar/kitchenette. We had to buy a corkscrew to open a bottle of wine and then there were no wine glasses among the bar glasses. Given that there are vineyards all over the area it seems that wine glasses and a corkscrew would be the most basic of items to have on hand. There is a kitchenette and a dining room table but no other kitchen or bar ware were provided. The whirlpool tub and shower were wonderful and very relaxing. The bedroom doors were glass and offered no privacy. If one person wanted to nap the only way to darken the room was to close the living room curtains. So the person not napping would still be left in the dark. That is one reason why booking a suite with a separate room is worth spending the money. The dresser is not in the bedroom, it’s is near the main door on the other side of the suite. So half our clothes were in the closet and the other half across the suite in the dresser. The suite is decorated well and decor, not functionality seemed to be the priority. Breakfast was subpar. The biscuits and potatoes were hard and dry and the a portion of the grapes were rotten each day. There were Quaker oatmeal packets. And on the day they served bacon it was gone an hour before breakfast ended. We are unlikely to stay here again.

チェックイン中、コンチネンタルブレックファーストサービスがいつ始まるかと問い合わせました。コーヴィッドのため、朝食は基本的にテイクアウトバッグになると言われました。予約前にホテルに確認して、本当のアメリカ大陸の朝食が含まれていると伝えました。部屋に到着すると、清潔さと事前の損害のために通常の部屋の検査を行いました。コンフォーターの白いダベットカバーの上部に髪が付いていることに気づいた。コンフォーターを引っ張って、さまざまな長さの髪を見つけた。嫌。これについてチェックインデスクに電話して、もう1つのコンフォーターを頼んだ。彼女はすぐにダブレットカバーなしで新しいコンフォートを持ってきました。毛深いダブレットとコンフォートは彼女に与えられました。彼女は部屋を掃除するのが彼女の仕事ではないが謝罪した。だから私たちはチェックアウトして道路にぶつかりました。車で20分ぐらいで、フロントデスクの女性が電話を鳴らして「たまたまあなたの部屋からダブレットカバーを取りましたか?」と聞きました。告発にショックを受けましたが、部屋に入って内容の在庫を処理するのにどれぐらいの時間がかかりますか?私自身がメンバーであるIHGにとって、これは最初のもので、この財産に名前を付けました。
