We stayed here while we were going biking and discovered they had a wonderful little waterpark. We had no kids with us, but we really did enjoy the hot tub which went inside and outside. Our room was clean and newly updated. They had a free continental breakfast which we did not expect so that was kind of fun. The people at the desk were very helpful and knowledgeable of getting us to our bike trail and what was going on in town. Very friendly.

This hotel was a nice place to stay. Continental breakfast was very limited, just waffles, hard boiled eggs, cereal and muffins. The pool/waterpark is over rated. I would only recommend if you have small children, lame for older kids. Had plenty of arcade games.
