We had several rooms for a wedding. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The live music and bar area were great. The only disappointment was the continental breakfast. For the price ofnthe room, the coffee and food was sub-par.

Location was great, rooms were clean and the staff was friendly! The breakfast could have been better - no burners to keep any of the hot food warm so it was all cold. Eggs, sausage, etc. Otherwise, offered a lot of bakery options and other items.
