My Wife and I have stayed here several times as she practices at the nearby courthouse. The staff is really helpful and friendly. There never seem to be many guests staying, but they seem to survive by renting out their ballroom (which can make things temporarily chaotic. There is a restaurant at the hotel, which we like, but again, there are rarely many people dining. There is a $20/day "resort fee," which is inappropriate, but even if they added it to their room rate, which they should, it would still be a reasonable price.

It’s been years since I’ve booked here, but when I did back in early 2010s there’s always been an issues with booking thru a 3rd party. When you get to property confirming payment his a few snags bc the card numbers don’t match, making attendant have to do some back ended verification before proceeding with check in. I thought this issues would’ve been resolved after so many years, but to no avail. Aside from that. AMAZING STAY!! Great friendly and patient staff.

nice hotel but we don't like the resort fee

we don't like the fact that they added a resort fee I guess that is their way of raising the price without showing it in the search

I never tried the food in the restaurant. I like the hotel. My room is clean, comfy bed only that there’s noise in my bathroom… i think it is the sink. Dripping water from the inside of the sink pipe all day/night my entire stay. You barely hear people talking too from the outside since my room is at the 2nd floor in-front of the parking. The outside where resort was is one of the place i love to stay and relax only that I am seeing cigarette buds on the fake grass area. Overall I like the place only a little more pricey for me and wish I got the chance to use the tub/pool.
