Our family recently stayed at this amazing hotel. And I can confidently say it was one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed and at ease. The staff was incredibly friendly, greeting us with warm smiles and making sure we had everything we needed to check in smoothly. The lobby was clean, modern, and inviting, setting the tone for what turned out to be a fantastic stay. Our room was spacious, spotless, and well-appointed with all the essentials for a comfortable visit. The beds were plush and cozy, ensuring that we all got a great night’s sleep after our long day of travel. It was also a huge plus that the room had plenty of space for our kids to relax and unwind. One of the highlights for our family was the hotel’s amenities. The breakfast was a wonderful way to start the day—fresh, delicious, and with a great variety to satisfy both the kids and us. The pool was clean and well-maintained, providing a fun and safe environment for our children to splash around and enjoy themselves. Another aspect that stood out was the hotel’s quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Even with other families staying there, we never felt disturbed, and the overall environment was perfect for relaxation.

Was looking forward to using the pool and hot tub. The hot tub was cold and the pool only had about 3/4 of the water it should have had in. I booked 2 rooms in the booking asked for 2 queens was only given 1 room with 2 queens annd other room was a king. Were placed on 2 different floors.

Pool was down our whole trip, bathroom floors were sticky where we stayed and the glass fort for the shower was broken in a way. The place is nice and quiet as there was only about 4 other families that stayed there at the time.

Cleaning crew must have been asleep

The staff were excellent. First room our tv did not work and smelt horrible so the front desk staff, Lee easily gave us a different room. The 2nd room smelt better, the tv worked but there was urine all over the toilet seat and bathroom floor - once again Lee came to the rescue as we asked if he could thoroughly clean it which he did. We usually have a good stay here so were surprised at this definite cleaning oversight.

Went there to enjoy the hot tub & pool that they said they had when i called the day before but when we got there the pool area was out of service for a while now. So complained to the manager and they said they would see what they could do and they would call and of course they never did. Very run down & smells bad.

It was a nice hotel, but not sure how often they clean the bedding, the bottom bed skirt was still dirty from something, we were on the 3rd floor so more noise was in this area, there was a knocking in the night from something. We did have to ask for more towels because they had not filled ours, breakfast was not the greatest, but the coffee was good and the beds were comfortable, it was dry in there for this time of year. For 1 night it was fine.
