The beds were great and comfortable. The rooms were clean, staff was friendly. The only thing i would change in the room is the seating. The chairs in our room didnt seem sturdy at all. We just sat on the beds. Everything else was great.

Disappointed

The hotel is beautiful and clean. We choose hotels with free breakfast when we have the kids with us and they advertise that it ends at 10am. Well... It was 920am when we went to breakfast and they had already cleared all the hot food. I asked the front desk lady and she went back and grabbed eggs and bacon. This was nothing compared to what they had the day before. They had already cleared the burritos and potatoes. This was very disappointing and bad customer service.

Great location but staff was lacking this trip

Nice hotel and in a great area. Just felt this visit was a bit downhill from what we’ve experienced before. Booked the hot tub, showed up and they had given the key to someone else who said they had booked it. Staff obviously did not check the reservation book then asked the party in there to leave and they wouldn’t. Staff never took accountability for the mistake. Poorly handled. Next morning showed up for breakfast and the only thing there was fruit and muffins. Eggs were gone, no potatoes, one piece of bacon, and two pieces of bread. Only decaf coffee. And it was still about an hour and fifteen minutes before breakfast was over. Other showed and we all waited for over 10-15 minutes for them to bring out enough eggs for 2 people same with bacon. Another guest asked the front if that was all they were bring and her response was “I don’t know” overall staff did not impress this trip. It’s a big weekend with sports and parents weekend…should have probably had your a team working. Friday nights staff was great….Saturday and Sunday was lacking.
