The hotel was so nice! We planned this trip for my husbands 40th birthday, and I called ahead to see if they did anything for birthdays and they gave us a complementary upgrade on our room. I was taken back on that and thought it was so kind and generous. I wasn’t expecting that - I would have been fine with some cookies and a sign that said happy birthday! We really appreciate everyone and their generosity for us. We definitely will be staying again!!

Room was clean and staff were all nice. Overall it was a good experience. My only complaint is how small the shower was. I would assume not all of the rooms have that small of a shower.
