Our stay was wonderful, everything was clean and everyone was very friendly and helpful. The pool was great. We didn’t have time to use work out area, but it was well equipped and looked very clean. Their breakfast was the best of any place i have stayed! The eggs were light and fluffy, biscuits tasted homemade! Their cinnamon rolls were the BEST! Special thanks to Rachel, who works the front desk, for going above and beyond to help us! Great place, highly recommend!
