Who knew The Elms was so voraciously haunted!?! 😳

Since I’m terrified of the paranormal and there was nothing in the description or explanations on hotels.com to outline/detail the paranormal activity along with nightly paranormal tours, I booked and had to pay ahead as required by this hotel. Had I not paid ahead, once I knew about the paranormal activity, I would have skeedaddled! It made me very anxious and uncomfortable and despite the beautiful spa, I won’t be staying at The Elms again!

The facility was beautiful, the Beds and room was great. Front desk staff very friendly and helpful. Jay who lead the paranormal tour was very knowledgeable and funny. Resturant the three owls the food was great but took forever for the food to arrive at the table. The bread was served after the meal. Kind staff but the management of the kitchen communications needs work.

It was a hot summer day so we understand the pool being crowded but there was noisy dance music playing instead of relaxing music. It was difficult to hold a conversation due to the volume. The pool bartenders seemed exhausted or maybe just having a bad moment. Other than that, we truly enjoyed our stay! PS If you’re planning on having a morning drink from the main floor cafe, get there early. By the time I went down around 9am, many items and drink ingredients were sold out.

Great hotel BUT NOT FOR KIDS

Honestly this hotel is not for families at all. Breakfast is available but NOT included. Our dinner took 45 minutes to get to us and when it did arrive my roasted carrots were dry and raw. Also never been to a restaurant that has a bread plate in the table but doesn’t serve bread.

Check-in was smooth and quick. They were able to check us in early which was really nice. Our room was nice and the bed was comfortable. Outside of our room 2 room service tray’s full of food were on the floor the entire time we were there. They were never picked up and they weren’t ours. The pool was nice but extremely busy. There were no chairs available but we made the best out of it. Before dinner we used the bikes they have at the hotel to ride around. It was super fun and relaxing. We decided to do the Ghost tour. We showed up in the Lobby at 9pm along with about 50 other guest. There were entirely too many people and it definitely took away from the ambiance of a ghost tour. I also thought the price tag of 25 bucks a person was absolutely ridiculous considering we walked around the property and listened to stories. In the morning we ate at the Three Owls restaurant inside the hotel. They had a breakfast buffet with waffles, biscuits and gravy, French toast, eggs, potatoes fruit and a host of pastry’s. The food was good but was a little pricey. For 3 people Buffett and 3 coffee’s and our bill was 90$ with tip. Overall it’s a great hotel and I would go back for weekend.
