I’ve been coming to the Abbey since the 1980s. We recently had a 2-night stay. The first night, our room was on the second floor in building 6, which made it very hard to keep warm due to the vaulted ceilings. We also requested a room with a bathtub in the shower, but none were available. It was comfortable enough to work remotely in the room at the desk. On the second day, our new neighbors were extremely loud, yelling and swearing, so we requested a new room. The next room on the first floor in building 5 was a lot warmer. We appreciated the quick accommodation to our request. We ate at the Waterfront for dinner, where the hostess was quite accommodating, ensuring we had a seat we liked and were warm enough, since part of the restaurant was mostly windows. The food was pretty good. Our waiter seemed rushed. Breakfast at the 240 West restaurant was sub par. The buffet had some variety, and the fruit was exceptionally fresh and delicious. My husband ordered an omelet for his meal, but sent it back because it was pretty liquidy. They took that off the bill for us. We didn’t try the pool or hot tub because there were a lot of families, and kids in the hot tub.

We were told Waterfront was a “family-friendly” restaurant, but bar staff asked me to control the noise level of our families’ children. It was not busy where we were seated, but certainly busy at the bar. I’m not sure what they expect from children aged 4-11. Also, we were seated at 7pm and did not receive our food until 8:15pm.

Rooms were cozy and homey just could use a little upkeep, there was water damage in the bathrooms and could use some new paint. The “arcade” was pretty run down, mismatched cheers and tables made it feel like someone’s old basement. Bathrooms in pool area were dirty. Seems like most of the staff were teenagers. I think it was probably amazing in its day but needs some updates. House keeping did an awesome job making up our room when we are out for the day. I appreciate the extra effort they put into arranging the kids stuffed animals on the bed. The ice rink was shut down as well even though I think it could have been open if someone put the effort into maintaining it. The restaurants and bars on site were very nice. We enjoyed the food and drinks. The lobby was decorated really nice for the holidays.

We reserved a room with a king bed, but they said none were available, so we were given a room with two queens. We were given two $15 vouchers for breakfast as compensation, which was nice. In our room, the bathroom could have been cleaned better. We noticed black mold in the shower. There was also debris on the bathroom floor. The carpet could have been vacuumed better. The bedsheets had something crusty on them and there were stains on one of the accent pillows. We did not have cups, bottled water or body soap on the first night; we got them the 2nd day. Service at the Waterfront restaurant was okay but a little slow. The food was decent. The funfetti cake was really good. We were given silverware wrapped in napkins that were still wet. 240 West was good. We had breakfast and dinner there. Service and food were good. The staff was attentive and checked on us regularly. We enjoyed the fires and hot apple cider at night. The live music was a nice touch.
