Rooms were spacious and clean. The pool and game area with the high tiki hut like ceiling made a vacation like setting. The restaurant attached was an extra bonus after traveling 9 hrs. The breakfast held in the restaurant was very nice with food other than just carbs. Would recommed for sure.

Got the job done on our road trip. Was hoping to use the pool and hot tub to unwind after a long road trip. I think we chose the busiest day to try to use the pool. Seemed like a popular place during this time of year.
