Love the amenities, the staff, and the furry bear guests. Second stay here, definitely enjoyed more staying at the Queen Jacuzzi room but the cheapest room was good as well. Pool area is great and so is the hot tub.
Great room and very good prices on their rooms. Their indoor heated pool and hot tub are awesome 🤘 i highly recommend this hotel for families that are on a budget.
