4/10 Fair

My first visit, bed was great rest of room dated, housekeeping only came on request day 1 and did not come at all day 2. Had to beg for new towels took over an hour to get, no pool towels, had to ask for them as well. Pool was full of leaves and small trash. Management just is not paying attention and taking the location for granted.

I would like to extend my gratitude to The Cook Hotel and Conference Center for the restaurant staff. I went to get an early breakfast thinking complimentary. Please understand you will be met with a wholesome breakfast layout. Impressed with the flavor, hot and organized with pristine cleanliness.
