Nice hotel, would request a different room.

Room was very nice, but it was right where the breakfast was served. If you want to sleep past 6:00am, ask to be in any other room than the first room on the first floor. Nice hotel - I would stay again if I could be assured that we would have a different room.

Hotel was nice and smelt clean. Staff at check in was very nice, she helped us a couple of times. Pool was clean. Only thing is that our rooms heater squeaked the entire time it was on. I usually wouldn’t have minded but the weekend we were there was very cold outside and when you turn the heater off, it did get cold in the room. They did offer to change our room so they did accommodate and again were very friendly.

I booked 2 rooms via Expedia and when I arrived, I was told there was only 1 room booked. I had to book another room on site and that cost $30 more! I contacted Expedia and was told the hotel refused to refund me the price increase. That was such a bad experience and I will never go back to this hotel anymore.
