Best hotel experience ever!

We stayed there with our 10U baseball team for State and it could not have been more perfect. They got to swim, fish, walk to Bass Pro, hang out, and enjoy their down time all at one place! I enjoyed the work out room, the mall, and close restaurants! We will definitely be staying here again!!!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Great stay!! Comfy rooms and beds, absolutely great breakfast!!.. my only objections were the HVAC/Heating system I'm the pool room broke down and so the pool was absolutely freezing! Unfortunately this was disappointing to my kids.. and for some reason every time we had to go to and use the elevators both elevators either one were always really stinky like a sewer gas smell. Other then that A+ staff was very polite and the amenities were good. We just were a bit disappointed in the pool because it almost seems that every time our family takes a trip and books a hotel no matter the brand, there always seems to be something wrong with the hotel pool or some reason or another that we cannot use it or go swimming. Having a checkout time set for noon instead of the typical 10am checkout that most hotels require was a pleasant surprise. It was nice not to feel rushed to pack up everything and leave
