The property is well kept. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Had to change our room on the first night due to the TV going out. Was able to move right next door, which made it very convenient. We forgot about the indoor pool (and found it was heated), so didn't get a chance to take advantage of that added perk. The location is perfect and as we drove from South NJ, coming off the OH Turnpike, made reaching the hotel easy without any issues. We definitely plan to book again at this location.
