We only stayed one night, but it was a very nice and clean hotel. Rooms were comfortable. The pool was a nice temperature. Often times, the indoor pool at other hotels is so cold it isn't fun to be in. The temperature of this pool was perfect and my grandson and husband could enjoy themselves without freezing. A very nice place. We will stay here again if we come back to this area.
