The Abbey Resort Bewertungen

I had to deposit my luggage in the lobby and then drive to a distant parking lot and trudge back through the slush and snow to the lobby. We had quite a bit of luggage including a cooler, so I asked the clerk for a luggage cart so I wouldn’t have to make multiple trips from the lobby to the room and leave the rest of my stuff unattended with strangers. The clerk said I could not have a cart, I could only employ the services of a bellboy, and only a bellboy could use a cart. I asked if this included an expected tip and was told yes. Being a self sufficient person on a budget, and the room already ridiculously overpriced, I declined hiring a bellboy. The room was small, clean, didn’t stink, nice bathroom, no microwave, uncomfortable fold out bed couch, somewhat deformed mattress on king bed that gave the impression of being on an incline rolling me to the edge. No microwave. I thought there was no refrigerator too, didn’t discover it was hidden behind a wood panel until it was too late at check out time. The snooty refusal to provide a basic luggage cart soured me on this place. Also, I hadn’t visited it for 45 years, and in the meantime some ghastly and unfortunate “remodeling” had trashed the once fine architecture. The original dark wood rustic beams had been hideously and amateurishly painted over with inappropriate white paint. The original health spa rooms with steam and dry saunas, exercise equipment, and massage tables had been gutted and destroyed, replaced by a dismal and completely abandoned kiddy pool. Diving board had been r Ed moved, the hydrotherapy pool had been ripped out and replaced by a squiggly shaped hot tub thing, and the original poolside views to the outside vista had been obliterated by the addition of a pinball arcade area. The quiet original stateliness of the pool was ruined by the addition of a large screen playing childish cartoons with a high and disturbing sound volume. A tragic demise to a once great resort, and an abomination to the original once tasteful architecture. Not the kind of experience one would hope for in a lake side resort.
