Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

I liked my room, the location was good and the parking was easy and close to the entrance. The person checking me in took time to be friendly and explain local dining options to everyone before me in the line and then chose to answer a phone call immediately after starting to check me in, then whispering ‘you’re all set’ to dismiss me. I’d had a really long and difficult journey to get there, and then waited some time in a line to check in. I also needed to ask about things nearby but didn’t feel I could. It wasn’t a great welcome especially considering he was so friendly to the other guests.

I had a girl’s night with my three young daughters and it was great! We had the first room on the first floor, close to everything but specifically the pool and breakfast. The entry into our room fit our wagon (to haul all the things) perfectly. My only wish was that the pool was warmer, my kiddos might have wanted to use it more. Thanks for a nice, quick trip!

Basketball Weekend

I had a very nice stay here, the bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. I did not use the pool or hot tub. It was quiet at night, and I enjoyed the breakfast buffet. The location was convenient to where I wanted to go, although they just started a big construction project on I-27, so that might change. I would definitely stay here again if I’m in the area. Also, checking in and out was very efficient, which I appreciate.
