"Staff seems nice but doesn’t look very experience with their work. I booked two rooms, when I checked in I showed my ticket number and only got one room checked in. Had to come back down for another room. Overall the hotel is nice but rooms are a bit more. Library level is nice for work"

"Second time staying here. The rooms themselves are average but the pool and restaurants connected to the hotel were great. The kids love the pool and this is the big reason we keep coming back. I am finding it’s a bit overpriced for the actual room. The rooms are a bit dated and nothing special."
