Comfortable, quiet, with efficient staff. Room very clean, bed mattress firm but linen very soft and cozy. Shower head can be raised and lowered, and shower walk-in had no step up nor down - handy for those with vision impairment or minor mobility issues.

Great location with fun sport facilities, plenty of parking, fabulous restaurant onsite and cool casual dining (bar) nearby. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Definitely want to come back with the family or for another girls weekend away. With a soccer field, free mini golf, pickle ball, paddel ball, tennis courts, gym, heated indoor pool, onsite infinity pool and golf driving range straight off the nearby sports bar, it would be a fantastic getaway for everyone.
