I reserved one room with two queen beds, but my travel mate could not make the trip, so I changed to a single queen room next to the House Service room and Electrical room. The humming from the Electrical room was so loud I could not fall asleep. At 12:30 am I finally went down and changed room to a double queen away from the Electrical room (each floor had its own Electrical room). The new room was quite and clean. The breakfast was very good. The staff were very nice and helpful.

Very nice stay

Better than average breakfast, very nice outdoor heated pool, sufficient exercise room and decent enough hot tub. Great location for us. Good bed with fridge and microwave. Stayed here before and probably would again. Nice front desk man on evening shift!
