Room was spotless and comfortable. Staff was super friendly. It felt like being at home without cooking and cleaning. The breakfast was spot on. My wife and I were happy to stay here while visiting family in the area. If you are needing a room in the area, stay here. You won't regret it.

Was okay, sadly won’t book there again

Location was convenient, hotel itself was not so great. Our first room had issues with the tv, the rooms keys didn’t work half the time so we needed about 10 for a 12 hour stay. We switched to a different room due to issue with tv, the bathroom was falling apart. Their fire system is also not working properly, so I would be very careful if you book! We’ve have stayed here previously (the pool wasn’t open or even working at the time for that trip, was one the main reasons we booked was the indoor pool) , we will not be returning! The breakfast was okay. Pancake machine was broken.

Hotel stay

When we checked into our room we noticed several large bugs on the inside window. The offered to change our room and explained that the bugs coming during harvest time. They vacuumed out the bugs and the problem was resolved. The breakfast was not good at all.
