fyi - if staying for more than one night, be sure to let them know you want room service, i.e. fresh towels, beds made etc. If you don't, the only thing they seem to do is take out the garbage. Breakfast was good.

The breakfast was delicious. That is one of our favorite things about a hotel is the breakfast options (included with the stay). Staff were all friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean as well. They even had grills to cook out on that were surprisingly clean. We used them and had a little picnic. If we ever come back to this area we will definitely be staying here.

Too expensive for what we dealt with. Our bedrrom door and bathroom door whould not shut unless using force. It woke our 1 year old up from his nap. When my husband returned to the room. The room echoed very loudly and we could hear everything outside of our room. I couldnt get help from anyone when i needed towels and wash clothes. Most staff were not friendly.

I could not make it until the next morning and my daughter and friend got there ahead of me. I did chat with expedia and added friends name because front desk said i had to check in because its under my name. Fair enough. I changed names and it showed new name on mew receipt. Wasn't good enough for this guy.

When I made my reservation I specifically stated that i would be using my BOSSES business credit card as mine had not come in the mail yet. I was assured that it would be no problem. When i got there the front desk said i could not use the card. Good thing i had MY debit card!! Lack of communication and ignorance. On the flip side my room was clean & my bed was super comfy!
