Not what I remember
I've stayed at the Pepper Tree Inn several times in the last decade and was always pleased with my stay. However, I was super disappointed in my stay this past weekend. First of all, we couldn't check into our room until nearly 6 p.m., after being told the room would be ready by the promised check-in time of 4 p.m. I understand they are short-staffed, and I was promised a 50% refund on my room. Upon entering the room, it was stiflingly hot and I realized the Pepper Tree doesn't have any AC. I should have checked the website, but I guess I just assumed they would have this amenity. Basically, it was super hard to sleep because it was so stuffy and warm in the room. Overall, the property seemed tired and worn-out, and the pool filled with mulch is so depressing. Very sad - this hotel is not at all what I remember. I'm hoping it's just a Covid recovery situation and that it will improve over the coming months. I'd still come back and stay there in the winter, but unless they get AC, I wouldn't recommend it for a summer visit.
Not good customer service
We booked the Peppertree Inn for our Anniversary trip. The place was so COVID paranoid, that you had to call a number to tell them you have arrived and they give you a code for a lockbox to get your room key! No housekeeping services were available. If you wanted more towels or amenities, they said to text them and they would deliver it outside your room. I texted this morning at 9:15 am, before we left for a hike. We got back to the room at 6:30 pm, and NOTHING was delivered! Also, no ice machine on premises and no one in the office to help with issues. Also, place did have a swimming pool, but it is currently being filled in. Will not be staying here again!!! I asked for a credit for the poor service, but the night worker said it wasn't up to him. What the heck???
Horrendous
I booked this hotel, as just a place to lay our heads for one night. I took my sons to zipline, and didn't want to drive 6 hours in one day. What a mistake booking this place. Upon entering our room, (which I was given a key for, not the key card, because the door wasn't locking properly) my sons first found pills under the desk. I have no clue what they were... The bathroom sink was smeared with something, and it was incredibly warm in the room. NO AIR CONDITIONING!!! I should have asked when I booked, my fault. When we settled in, the tv didnt work. Picture was fine, no sound. I called to have it fixed, no one called back. I would not stay here again. The staff was pleasant upon checking in and out. But wonderful staff can't make up for nasty rooms.
Poor maintenance
This place is in a great location. It feels good to walk out of the property every morning and immediately see the Lake, with easy access to lakeside dining, coffee place, and even a Thai restaurant. But that's probably the only thing good about it. - The place is very run down, and very badly maintained. An old property doesn't necessary mean a poorly maintained one - but this place has cobwebs in the staircase, carpets in the public areas are all soiled and stained. - Bathroom condition is poor. Shower tub is so small that my husband of 178 lb can't turn around while inside - There is NO AC. Only a fan. But the fan was so loud that you can't sleep, so you have to choose between sleeping in quiet and heat, or trying to fall asleep SLIGHTLY cooler amidst the loud fan. - The elevator doesn't work. I would much rather stay a little further away from the lake since we're driving anyway than to stay here again.
Do not use. No A/C. Room over 100 degrees. They never tell you they have no ac.
No ac. Pool broken. Did I mention rooms have no ac! Very misleading website. We were put on 7th froor. Elevator broken. They never let us know. Nasty service. This place makes the holiday look like the Waldorf Astoria. Never ever stay here. Dirty, cigarette butts all over outside our room. It is about 100 in our room right now...no ac. View is ok. Not good enough to ever endure this rat nest again.
