The customer service was incredible! They messaged me on the app about my cot request and after finding it we’d arrive late, they had the pull out bed made and cot in the room. The breakfast was delicious! Perfect stop with family of 5!

Staff was friendly. Fold out sofa was super thin and not comfortable. Mold in the bathroom's shower. Free breakfast was above average quality. Pool was very small and way too cold to comfortably swim in. Hot tub was OK size, but way too hot to sit comfortably in.

From the first, the lady at the front desk was smiling and very helpful. When we couldn’t work the heat, she left her desk immediately, coming to the room to help us. Best stay in every regard we’ve ever had. Thanks Again!

We were very satisfied with our stay. The hotel shuttle was a great option to take our large group to and from nearby restaurants. Service was very good. Room was clean. The only reason I didn’t rate it high is the building showed a few sign of wear and tear. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.
