The backyard of the mansion is a perfect location for wedding and seasonal photography.

I attended a wedding here at the back of the mansion. It was so nice to be in the shade while…read moregazing out at the beautiful scenery. I've been to a couple of weddings where the sun was blazing in my eyes and diminished the nuptials just a tad. The main floor of the mansion was open after the wedding ceremony for guests to mingle and wander from room to room. Dinner was held on the second floor with the buffet set up on the landing. The tables were spaced out well so that there was room to move between them.

I follow the excellent PWA family wrestling shows at the Alpine Club. The staff are not real…read morefriendly and don't seem to understand they are in the hospitality industry and are there to make an evening of wrestling entertainment a happy experience for the paying patrons. The General Manager runs the place like he is in charge of the Gestapo. On my last visit he was hassling three regular patrons for a very minor issue and upsetting a number of attendees. A gentleman overheard the discussions and asked the manager why he was making such an issue about such a mundane subject. He immediately told the patron that he was cut off from the bar after having one beer and was asked to leave because he had " attitiude ". When the gentleman said he was staying until the end of the show because he had paid the full price for his ticket the Manager phoned the police and the fellow had no choice but to leave. It really ruined the evening for a lot of the patrons. I also would have spoken up but didn't want the same fate.

Management and employees are not very friendly! Service is very poor! Don't get your money's worth.read more

Such a terrible experience traveling with a team staying at this hotel. Firstly they only will give…read moreout 2 keys per room which when we are saving members money and putting 3 in a room, makes this more difficult than it needs to be. As many teams do, doors were decorated (with painters tape - not our 1st trip) and housekeeping ripped them down. no asking just tearing artwork down! When checking out I was told that one of the rooms I was paying for had already been paid. I told them that I had not yet paid, no reasoning or calling in someone else to help, they didn't let me pay. Knowing this was a mistake, I would figure it out with in the team, which I did. However the person who paid for my room also tried to undo it and was not able to. Then 3 days later after settling with the other person the hotel charged me. If they had just listened to either of us - maybe looked to see what other rooms that card had paid for and called them while we were still there? Terrible rude customer service with the philosophy 'the hotel is always right'. Saturday night when we returned to the hotel at 10pm after a full day of competition and an early morning on Sunday, there was booming loud music. We were on the 4th floor and it sounded like it was right under us. When we called the front desk we were told that they would be done soon. It was terribly loud and was not done for another hour .. on time change night with a 6am morning. Overall just not welcoming or helpful staff.

Comfortable beds and linens. Coffee maker, fridge AND microwave. Parking is a nominal fee, but the location is downtown so you have to pay for parking everywhere. The cost here is a fraction of the cost at nearby lots. The halls are a bit confusing lol, but nice views. Small bathroom, but it's clean and looks newly renovated. I travel here for work often and look forward to staying here again.
