Historic Whispering Woods Hotel & Conference Center

The staff was exceptionally helpful and the hotel was very clean. The building looks a bit plain from the outside and might be off-putting but the rooms were recently renovated and we had no issues with our one night stay.

The young lady at the desk was very helpful and quick. The room was outstanding. I will be returning soon.

NOTES TO THE MANAGER I will NEVER stay at Whispering Woods again and will warn everyone I know from doing so. Here's what I encountered: The room (125) stunk to high heavens when we walked in. Smelt like a wet, dead animal. It was filthy. Cob webs at the ceiling corners, trash on the carpet throughout and a quarter-sized piece of thick pane glass in the middle of the floor beside the bed. This room had obviously not been cleaned or vacuumed in a very long time. The bathroom was a disaster: Mold all around the perimeter of the shower inset caulk, there was a wad of black hair on the floor and trash all over the floor, the grout was filthy and the toilet was very sluggish in flushing. The sliding glass door had clearly been missing the roller wheels for some time, so it made the door inoperable. The hanging rack was so low to the ground, I couldn't even hang a dress or my husbands pants on it so we had to use the luggage cart in an already very cramped room. The upholstered chair was so stained, I was afraid to even sit on it. The curtains kept hanging up on the slider when we attempted to open them. The so called free hot breakfast was supposed to be served at 7 a.m., but the Tree Top Grill didn't open until 7:15, delaying our morning plans. Now, having laid this out, you should know that I've been a hotel general manager. I know all too well that it's hard work. I can tell you that if my regional manager had EVER found any of the infractions I listed above, I would have been terminated on the spot. I would have terminated any housekeeper on the spot for this lack of cleaning. You are NOT doing your job. Every single room should be inspected BY YOU every day after the housekeeping staff has finished because the buck stops with you. You're supposed to be in charge and have a handle of what's happening in this hotel. You're obviously not doing that and that's why the housekeepers are doing such a deplorable job. They know you're not checking up on the quality of their work. Your reception area was beautiful, but is highly deceptive as to what's behind that green door. On the upside, your front desk clerks were very nice and helpful, but I was so shocked and disappointed with the room that I will never risk staying there ever again. I intend to use the photos I took of this mess of a room on social media to warn others of my experience. I think you may have more on your plate than you're able, or willing, to handle. Judy Logan

Called hotel and was promised 5 rooms at the government/military rate. Checked in and the hotel did not honor the rate. Staff was unhelpful and the “manager” was unavailable. Terrible experience overall. Do not recommend anyone stay here.

As a business traveler traveling with my wife there are key aspects that are critical and key aspects I want to dispense with 1: Clean rooms - excellent 2: good beds - excellent 3: fresh towels, hot water, quality soap - excellent 4: Hot breakfast - excellent 5: Self parking - lighted - excellent 6: workout area - bright, roomy 7: coffee in room - excellent 8: Business center for printing : efficient This hotel excelled at all of the above. As a bonus these rooms and common areas where all recently renovated with fresh paint, clean carpets and no “carpet fresh” smells I also don’t want to be upsold or feel like every service event is a tip or high priced extras I would recommend this hotel to friends family and business associates. Thanks for the great value and high quality bundled !! Bobus

The beds are comfortable, however there are many flaws to this hotel. First: it smells like cigarettes. The odor is in the air, however on our second night here the person in the room across from us was smoking in their room and made for a very unpleasant night constantly smelling the foul odor of cigarettes. Second: The shower handle fell off as I’m showering, and the water pressure in the sink was almost non existent Third: the maids failed to give me new towels, and actually put a used towel I set on the floor, back on my bed I was sleeping on. If I was you, looking to get a hotel, I’d personally look elsewhere. AKA, the hotel right across the street.

DO NOT STAY HERE: They use software that MONITORS your internet use, and will not allow you to look at certain websites that they do not like! This is called Cisco Umbrella, and you CANNOT look at 4Chan or many other websites on their WIFI. These are christian fundamentalists and you have ZERO rights when you step onto their private property. That and the place is a dump, built in 1965 with the same cheesy aluminum windows that allowed bugs in 1965~ Again, they are MONITORING your internet use if you stay there....

The place is absolutely gorgeous l, from the large lobby to the beautiful twin stair cases in the main hall. The room was quite standard with 2 beds but they were incredibly comfortable, much better than i usually get from hotels. The shower water was hot and has good pressure, the tv is larger than i usually see in a hotel as well. While walking through this beautiful hotel is like walking theough history, cannot imagine all of those great people of the past who could have shared this space. Absolutely love it. Thank you guys for taking such good care of this place and of us.

Out of all the places I have stayed at I have to say this is one of the best hotels by far ! The beds are really comfortable and it's so pretty inside I absolutely enjoyed staying here and if I'm ever in the area I will be back!
