We enjoyed our stay here. We usually have complaints about hotels but I don't think we have a single one. Our kids loved the koi pond and feeding the fish in the mornings. The food was good and staff was friendly. Everything was clean. We enjoyed the cocktail hour. We did order from the restaurant one night and while the food was good, it was $30 for a very tiny portion of meat and some polenta. That was disappointing. The pool and hot tub were great and overall it was a very nice experience.

Loved the water station. Hot tub was good temp. Breakfast was delicious! We especially enjoyed the manager’s special. The staff were accommodating and so friendly. My only complaint is the near constant presence of people trying to trick us into a time share.

Thought the place was very nice, the rooms clean, but a little dated as mentioned in other reviews. The free breakfast was great and they have a happy hour that I think people like a lot. Cost of parking is $46 a day. There is a resort fee of $20 dollars a day and some taxes which aren't figured in with your stay if booking through Expedia, but this can be offset by a daily $20 allowance which can be used for gift shop items and toward a drink tab and meals (be sure to check your bill though --we were billed for these after first day and had to go back and address by phone when we got our invoices with breakdowns two days after our stay (not available at early morning checkout) and had to request three times. Otherwise, had a nice stay in hotel and the area.
