Enjoyed our stay. This is a great property if traveling with pets. Wish they had maintained their pool area better, as the sauna did not work, the hot tub was 4-6” shortof being filled. This meant that none of its water could cycle through the filter system. The children’s pool was out of order.

Curtains need to be fixed or completely changed. They did not close fully. Breakfast was disappointing. Eggs were almost gone at 8:00 and there was no staff around monitoring it. Parking was convenient. The one person we had any contact with was not very cordial. No thank you, enjoy your stay, or letting us know Breakfast hours. We were disappointed because we had stayed there years ago and still expected the same experience. We won't be back.
