Unfortunately our stay didn’t go well. We experienced racial discrimination 2hrs into our stay. They also called the police on us, all because of the receptionist racial bias towards our teenage boys who were enjoy themselves in the hot tub after there tournament. They where not disturbing anyone, no other guest there. The words she used towards us and the kids were uncomfortable and unpleasant. Police report was taken we were not at fault. Will the hotel take responsibility, probably not. Sports parents if traveling don’t stay here if your a person of color.

Great place to stay while visiting our son close by. Lots of food options within walking distance. Free breakfast was one of the best we’ve ever had! Delicious! Staff was very kind and helpful. Room was clean and well stocked. Only complaint would be we tried to use the hot tub 3 different days but it was cold on each occasion so we could not.
