Cottages in Columbia County

"No sound insulating at all!!!! We heard guests above us rolling their luggage bags and clomping around. Room service, having our bed made was "upon request only!" A stainless steel bathtub that locked like a coroner's draining bath at a morgue was in the center of the room. No seats in bedroom. The restaurant was excellent. The bathhouse was nice but coed changing area quirky. You had to walk outside across properly in the hotel robe to get to the baths and left with a wet bathing suit. "

"Always love coming to the Alander!"

"YES, YES"

"Rooms weren’t clean. Sheets and comforters were dirty with spots. "

"What a great place we have discovered. Beautiful, very well maintained and clean. Beds are soft and rooms are warm. As my kids said, - feels like home. Very cozy. Highly recommend. "

"All good !"

"There was trash strewn around the property, an outside deck inaccessible, piled with furniture, a muddy driveway and walk, a space heater for the room, windows with poor insulation...not at all what was represented on the website."

"The low rating is due to the worst night sleep I've had in a long time. Most of this property's issues are beyond the control of management. But the walls are paper thin, the windows are very old and not double or triple glazed thus every single sound penetrates and you feel as though you're sleeping outside. There is a train that comes through regularly all night long with train whistles. There is a church bell that tolls on the hour (I heard it at 3am, 4am, 5am, 6am and 7am)! There are various sirens of ambulances and fire trucks, and heavy trucks like garbage trucks. It is just such a loud neighborhood and not sure what can be done because the house is historic. Two things would have improved the stay: blackout curtains (there are only flimsy horizontal blinds that do not darken the room whatsoever. Also, put a mirror in one of the bedrooms (we were in the 2 bed suite) so that one can do hair and makeup while the other is showering. I will say that the accommodation was spotless, it's got a nice vibe aesthetically, the water and snacks a nice touch and check in went smoothly. Communication was good as well. But, unfortunately, I can't give it a higher rating because it was just such a terrible sleep. "

"Main hotel building, including the bar and restaurant, were pleasant. Didn't eat, but the drinks were on point. Walls in the annex building, where my "half pint" room was located, are incredibly thin. Although there's a quiet policy (after 11pm as I recall), guests in adjacent rooms were up all night talking and their voices came right through the walls. It was as if we were part of their conversations. Not a minute of sleep. Hotel offered a comp though, some attempt made. "
