Very nice stay! Only thing that was annoying, we were looking forward to relaxing in the hot tub and there were lots of kids in it, splashing, etc. the blowers were a bit aggressive.

The exercise room is on the second floor. Our room was right below it. There was constant pounding whenever anyone used the treadmill. At first we thought the noise was related to remodeling/construction happening in and around the hotel. Then the loud thumps that shook the room started. When we went to investigate, we found that the exercise room was on the second floor (right above our room). Someone was using the treadmill, and some others were dropping weights on the floor. We met another family in the hall who were also trying to figure out what was going on. The noise was really disturbing. My husband said he wouldn't be able to sleep there another night. We went to the desk to see if we could be moved to a different room. At first the person wasn't very helpful - hadn't heard any other complaints, no other rooms available. I said that we would just check out early then. She wouldn't be able to do that because we paid through a 3rd-party. I said we would leave and I'd follow up with hotels.com. Then she got a little nicer, and found a room that she would be able to move us to. It wasn't ready yet, so we needed to take all of our stuff out of our room and keep it in our car. Then she turned kind of unpleasant again. I would not stay here again, and would not recommend this hotels to others. Most things were fine, but the 2nd floor exercise room and the poor service outweighed any positive aspects of the stay.

The room had wallpaper falling off the wall. Bathroom floors were sticky. I will say that there was a sign up that they were doing some sort of updates and I would HOPE they would include updating rooms.

I booked using a hotels.com rewards night, but ultimately the hotel charged me again for the room. If and when they reply to my request to reverse the double charge, I'll edit, but still, I'd be super hesitant to book here again.

The room was amazing, staff was wonderful, I loved what was around the area and overall it was a wonderful stay. Just know that during the day if there are kids running in the halls you will hear it. Even with that it was quite around 7-8ish and the room/hotel was so nice it was a very small part of an amazing stay

Beautiful property

We checked in, went to our room, enjoyed our first night, went to the front desk with a question and found out that we weren't checked in and had been considered a no show. Annoying, but the wonderful lady behind the desk fixed everything. Beautiful location and the rooms were clean. Pool was freezing and the hot tub was lukewarm, very happy we had a hot tub suite!
