If you want a quiet place on a scenic golf course this is a pretty good choice. The staff were excellent and a pleasure to talk with and ask questions. Room service is provided daily and they keep your room clean and plenty of towels and some toiletries. One thing that is not so good is not every room has been updated, some have older toilets that don’t flush well and some have older Airconditioning systems that are not the greatest. Ask for newer updated rooms. A pretty good continental breakfast is provided and with fruit bowls and other healthy items. One thing the breakfast room is open during the day and at night but I don’t know if they really want you to be in there except for breakfast and maybe to watch a large screen TV. No outside food is allowed. I think it’s because crumbs etc. Would attract bugs. No one wants bugs! So I guess I can see that as a reason. We liked our stay, quiet but near to downtown and other places of interest.

Staff was great, rooms were clean. However, the property has not been upgraded in years so things don’t work, water drips, pipes squeal loudly. Would probably go again, but not at the rate (or anywhere near the rate) we paid.

This is my second stay at this hotel including a trip in 2024. It is a very quiet location and not far from various restaurants, shopping, banking and just about anything else you can think of with a 5-10 minute drive to Whiskey Rd. They are currently doing some renovations to the rooms by removing the carpets and installing wood floors, which have a nice look. As during my trip in 24, the staff is VERY helpful with any questions or information you ask them for. The rooms are cleaned well and they will respond to any issues you may have in the room quickly. The daily continental breakfast does not have many items or variety, but once again, Whiskey road has many breakfast spots. The rooms are well insulated as far as I noticed, very quiet, with golf course scenery on one side and the front of the hotel and pool area on the other. If you are a golfer, it's a good location. If you like cleanliness, peacefulness and easy access to food, shopping and ease of movement. this may be the place you are looking for.

Traveling for business - arrived late and notified front desk in advance, so check in was no problem. Location is great. Room was clean and quiet, I had a little down time to enjoy the pool. Available breakfast was good - would definitely stay again.
