Had a fantastic stay. The entire property was clean. The staff was on it each morning tidying things up and making everything look great. Beds soft, bathroom water pressure on point, hot tub and pool area clean and inviting. Gym is small but gets the job done. Definitely a place I would stay again.

Have to grow up to work in the real world
Check in was a nightmare. Girl was completely unprofessional and trash…other girl took over and was very polite and professional…first girl did apologize but for God’s sake man…we had traveled for 9 hours and I have to deal with this child yelling and storming off. Hire adults please. Let’s add the giant hair on my towel as a chaser.

Our stay was overall really nice. The property was well kept, clean, and pretty updated. The only complaint we had was the staff not specifying breakfast during the weekdays closed at 9:30 unlike the weekends where it closes at 10am. Our room was clean, easily accessible, and every request we made for additional linen or necessities was met in a very timely manner.
