Very clean
We had a great stay. The room was very clean and spacious. The only negative was being told we couldn’t hang out in the lobby with family we only see once a year.

Weekend Stay
Overall a nice stay. My family enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Breakfast both days was great and breakfast attendant did an excellent job of keeping things stocked & fresh. Felt things could have been a bit cleaner, especially the elevator (that was also extremely slow).

Very good place to stay
we checked in late, but thankfully it went smoothly despite the late hour. The room was very comfortable and the price of the room was reasonable. If I drove through the area again, I would absolutely stay. Breakfast in the morning was also very good.

Elevator out of order
First day there. The elevator wouldnt come down to the first floor unless it was sent down by someone up stairs. So we had to walk up stairs. Normally i wouldnt mind but hubby had knee replacement surgery and its hard for him . The next morning they did put up a elevator out of order sign up .
