The hotel was nice and clean. Nice pool area. My only complaint was that there is a lot of moisture in the room. The bed and everything felt damp when we came in and got in bed in the evening. Other than that the place was great! Staff was so helpful and nice. We would stay again.

The hotel was pretty nice, it could have been a little bit cleaner and some things needed attention. One of the windows near the hot tub had the screen just hanging half way off. No towels in the pool area, had to go ask for some. Our first morning, there was an issue with breakfast. The service was so slow, the hot food was empty, all the juice was empty except one, not much choices for bread, no cinnamon rolls. My husband had to go to the front desk to let them know everyone was just waiting for food. A manager did come and help and got more food out. The pancake maker was not working that morning either. The next morning was better. Overall we had a nice stay.

Ample sized room, modern & convenient. Very convenient location with ample parking. Hot breakfast buffet was good and well attended to. Some minor imperfections: 1- no water available after breakfast - no water fountain & out of water to sell, 2- some loud guest late at night (soccer teams, not controlled by chaperones)
