We really enjoyed our stay. The pool was well maintained and a welcome rest after a long drive.
The room was large, clean and comfortable. An added bonus was the proximity to the Bowlo for a meal. Our son loved the playground. Our room key gave us a member discount which was great.

Clean, quiet, convenient.
Discount on drinks and meals at the local club was appreciated.
Key pad entry meant we didn’t see or meet staff members.
Will stay again.
