Excellent

Checkin person was pleasant. parking was open, no fee. Rooms are nice. Mini family get-away. My kids enjoyed the pool, I enjoyed the hot tub which was hot. No bubbles but still a +. Food was good, biscuits and gravy. We will be atouns for our next trip.
Everybody on the staff was friendly and professional. The hot tubs jets didn't work and no attempts were made to rectify the problem. Other than that it was a pleasant stay.
Just a quick overnight on our way further north and west…

This property is under renovation but I doubt we will stay there again. The light by the bed was broken. The breakfast has really gone downhill. You can just tell they are cutting corners. The hot tub had no working jets.

Very clean room, safe parking, very excellent kindness staffs, super excellent breakfast.
One thing too old building and needs renovation.
Was a nice hotel for my family of 4 kids my room came with a bunk bed set of 4 beds and a king size bed so it worked out perfectly. My kids loved that it had a ps3 and a tv just for the kids to play on. The only downside was the hotels upkeep was not very good. The jet for the hot tub was not working.
