Arlington Resort Hotel and Spa
Staff could have given better details about amenities. Breakfast was nice and affordable. The location was great, but overall our room and the entire hotel needs renovations to bring back it's former glory.

Baymont by Wyndham Hot Springs On the Lake
The property is obviously not well maintained. Bad A/C, was told to turn down the temp and it would stop. Had to change rooms late at night. Lots of small things in disrepair. Stay was OK but will not stay there again. Most everything appeared clean until you looked closely.
