Our room was very clean and well maintained. Room was spacious, beds were comfortable and bathroom was nice. The staff we came in contact with were very friendly and helpful. We did eat at the restaurant there and the sandwiches were good. Nice place to get an adult beverage without having to drive anywhere. I would definitely stay there again!
