Upon arrival, parking was very easy. Did not have to pay for parking which was nice. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. The ladies at the front desk were super nice and friendly! She checked us in very quickly and efficiently. She explained everything very well. She answered all my questions that I had. We were told about the construction going on as well. That didn't bother us at all. The room we had was clean and very spacious. I loved the walk in shower! As one does, I made sure to check the room before bringing any personal belongings in. The room was cleaned well. The view from the room was beautiful! I'm sure from the top floor it is an even more beautiful view. We were also able to see our car from the room which I liked. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean and soft. The pool area was clean and well kept up on. The pool was a good temperature. The only issue I'd say for the pool is more towels need put out. There were multiple guests swimming but only 4 towels available. We were not disturbed and it was quiet which was nice. Breakfast was very good. The cinnamon rolls are a hit! So yummy. The only thing that was a little questionable were the scrambled eggs. Plenty of seating for everyone. The staff were kind! Checkout was quick and easy. They charge a $20 fee to your card when you check in but as long as you do not damage anything or leave a mess it falls off your account quickly! Overall the stay was very nice. Highly reccomend!

We really enjoyed staying here! Guest Services were very very welcoming! We needed additional towels due to the size of our family and after calling down they were brought up within minutes. The only thing that could use improvement was the temperature of the pool. My kids and husband complained of it being cold! But other than that we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!

This property was under construction. The River View was not available as the top floors were under construction. The construction workers were respectful and courteous. The hotel was dirty as a result of being under construction. If we had known in advance we wouldn’t have stayed there.

Double check under everything in your room!
The desk service was great upon arrival. The pool water was freezing cold definitely upsetting because that's one reason i booked this hotel to bring my baby girl to swim for her 2nd birthday. Then we decided to stay another night and as were getting around to go out and see the town my daughter finds this Huge plastic purple medical syringe and it went straight in her mouth we grabbed jt right away only to find there way liquid still in it so i am beyond upset and frustrated and getting her check out because lord knows what it could be. I called the front desk rught away and they sent up the house keeping manager she apologized and said she doesnt know what it is she seen people put alcohol in them or something like that but they came and cleaned our room and then the front deak called anf said they gave me 10,000 points since im a member because they are sorry for whaf happened and yes i appreciate that but my whole stay should have been refunded considering the room should have already been cleaned and double checked so this would have never happened to begin with had someone properly done their job!
