The front desk staff were amazing. And they didn't make me feel dumb when we couldn't turn on the shower or figure out the blinds. They were very helpful and we enjoyed our short visit. Thank you 😊
We enjoyed our stay with our two fur babies in tow. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The staff greeted us warmly and were all kind. Very nice accommodations.
Breakfast was good. Plenty of parking. Room was clean and comfortable. Would stay again.

The stay was ok. Bathroom was alright but saw a few things that could’ve been more cleaner. The beds were ok but for my liking it was super soft. For someone with a herniated disc or back problems the beds aren’t really ideal. Besides those minor issues it was a good stay.
The room was great. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. I was disappointed that the stay did not include breakfast and breakfast menu was limited. And charged extra.

Although the hotel was very nice we booked because it was the only one with a hot tub. Of course it was out of order.
The hotel was very comfortable. The front desk car was helpful.
