Excellent staff! Friendly and gives great advice about what to do in town. Clean rooms. Breakfast was wonderful and quiet. A few things could probably be updated, couch in our room was a little old, but everything was still in good condition. I choose this place over and over again because I always know it will be a great stay. Lots of things to do within the hotel (mini golf, swimming, lounging outside).

I have stayed here several times before, seems the maintenance on the rooms have gone down hill. There was an odor in the room.Also there was a mix up with the rooms..where they had booked my room twice. Staff was curteous in getting it straightened out,but situation left a bad taste in my mouth. Not sure if will be staying there again.
