The hotel is definitely older. The rooms were super spacious and tge full kitchen was a big plus! The hot tub is broken and has been for awhile. I was sad to learn as Ibwas checking in. That as that is one of the main reasons I chose here and it should be posted but its not.

Check in was quick and easy. This hotel was completely sold out for the weekend. We stayed here with our dance competition team for three days and two nights. The team hung out in the lobby, ordered take out, and enjoyed some adult beverages. The staff was GREAT all the way around from check in to breakfast team, and housekeeping. The price of the hotel was also a plus with having a complete kitchen, we were able to also enjoy meals in the room to save some money. We will definitely stay here again when visiting the area.
