Our checkin, hospitality of staff and room was "excellent" up until we decided to get breakfast, and discovered $18 (17.99) per person. Why???? Continental Breakfast is the way, especially if you are not able to choose what's available.

The hotel is fine, but we regret having booked through Expedia because the hotel didn't even give us a blanket to give our children extra. The abstraction of tubes was a great experience.

Good stay w/ plans to return

The hotel was quite busy during our stay causing a short delay in accessing our room. The entire facility was clean and pleasant. The staff, especially Destiney at FD and server in the home dining area were outstanding!! We will stay here again. The mattresses could use an upgrade but that’s not on the staff.
