I love staying here. The shower in 210 is interesting to navigate the first time you stay in the room, but on the second stay in that room, I got a system figured out. The property is cool as hell the pool is awesome and the hot tub is awesome, I was told they are working on fixing the jets, but the water is hot and amazing!

It was great to have a quiet getaway without the constant buzz of nearby highways. The hotel is very well built so you don't hear the TV noise from next-door rooms. The pool was massive with a separate super large hot tub. I'll remember to bring my swimsuit next visit. Mike
