The pool and hot tub were closed. I was given conflicting stories why. Front desk said hot tub needed parts. Maintenance guy said cleaning. If cleaning why would you clean during open hours and not closed hours. There 2 days never got to get in and I picked this hotel for the pool and hot tub. Very annoyed at this.

Stayed for the pool and hot tub, and the free breakfast. All was fine, the breakfast was great. The door to our room wouldn't open normally, but the lady at the front desk knew right away what to do. It was pretty quiet. Kids loved swimming, and the beds were clean and comfy.

Great place to stay.

The folks arr always very helpful and friendly. The hotel is always clean. Breakfast is good also. The lady that worked the breakfast on Saturday was very pleasant. She hustled are break so well. She never stopped except to ask each of us if everything was OK. I wish i had employees like her when I had my business. We have stayed there several times and the employees and amenities keep us coming back.

Our check in was amazing. The friendliest worker I have ever encountered. Room was a bit warm, even after turning down temp. Bedding is hot. Slept great though. Mold in bathroom shower not a lot, guessing by looks it’s just old

The hotel itself was fine. Staff was fine except for the fact that no one was ever at the front desk. They were always in the office off to the side. You’d have to stand there for a bit before they would hear someone out there. Maybe a bell to ring might help? The breakfast was nice. We went up to ride the Back of the Dragon rd but besides that. There isn’t really anything to do there in November. We booked a stay Frid- Mon and checked out a day early. We were bored but nothing to do with the hotel.
