Ryan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable 2 night stay. Appreciated the blinds that kept ALL the light out in the morning. Also felt the storage hooks and bench below for suitcases was smartly designed and functional. Also liked the chaise lounge chair and reading lamp above.

Spacious rooms to fit our large family, hard to find. Kids enjoyed the pool and loved the hot tub!
Noel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It is a pretty average hotel. The only issue we had was that sometimes the locks for the key cards didn't work all the time. You'd have to scan your card two or three times. The pool and hot tub area is pretty well kept. The hot tub was great. The fitness room is small but it was workable.

We travel to this area often and stay at a new place each time. However, we feel like we have found “the one.” Staff was very helpful and friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Love the pancake machine, the cinnamon roll warmer, and other good hot foods. Great variety of foods and very well stocked. We will be back!
