I booked this for NYE, with my kids as a mini “stay-cation” from a neighboring city. Property interior is beautiful. My littles loved the pool, and the breakfast. My older teens loved that it’s conveniently located. The staff were absolutely wonderful, and accommodating. They did an amazing job, considering circumstances (being super full on a holiday weekend and short-staffed). The elevator to the parking garage was broken, which sucked, but who doesn’t need a little bit of exercise anyway, ya know? Will definitely book again.

The rooms are very outdated. For the price we paid I would have expected a far nicer room. The room smelt musky, the carpet is old, the pillows have seen better days and the bed sank in the middle. We won’t stay here again.

She has a fantastic memory; greeted everyone by name for the rest of their stay, and she went above & beyond to make our stay wonderful! Your staff are the main reason we will return to stay here!

Everything was great as usual. We’ve been staying here for the last four years. Only reason I gave a 4 on property was because 2 out of the three elevators were not working during our stay which made going up, and down, from our room a bit of a chore.

The room was clean, but drab and dated. Some furniture in the lounge was lightly damaged. Breakfast buffet was good. Front desk staff was nice, but I had to ask multiple times to get sofa bed linens delivered. One day they failed to clean the room because of a language glitch; another day they didn’t leave wash rags with the other bathroom linens. The room had an ironing board but no iron. Front entrance is awkward for dropping people off or pickup.
