We have stayed here before. It was our first hotel choice on our recent vacation! The rooms are very clean with all the amenities needed for our stay. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Check in/out was a breeze. Really like being close to a walking trail so we could get some exercise and walk ...

Westward Look Wyndham Grand Resort and Spa
Nice resort, the staff was very attentive, grounds were well laid out. The first assigned room, we couldn't find thermostat and wasn't told where to look for. The bathroom door and fan were extremely noisy. It took a long time for the water to warm up. Overall it was a present stay.
