Amazing room size

We love this hotel and stay every year for a swim meet. Roxy at the front desk is amazing and always makes sure we have everything we need. The rooms are great and perfect to put kids to bed and still be able to stay up to watch tv or get work done without worrying about waking them! Highly recommend!!!
