Well done

Nice place. Easy checkin. Lots of door dash options. Pool was quiet and relaxing. Had it all to ourselves. Definitely clean, as I'm a stickler for this. Did find one piece of trash under side of bed which makes me worry about floors, but it was probably just accidentally missed. Nice room layout. Backs to woods. Plenty quiet at night. Not a party hotel.

The property was very well maintained. The rooms were clean and the beds were so comfortable. The kitchenette had everything you could need to make simple meals (microwave, refrigerator, 1 burner stovetop) and dishes, cups, glasses and silverware were all available. If you needed additional small appliances, they had them on loan near the front desk. The indoor pool was so refreshing and the hot tub so relaxing. The staff were friendly and helpful. Great place to stay!

HORRIBLE experience HORRIBLE customer service

Horrible experience. Booked this hotel for a softball tournament bc it’s close to our venue. When we arrived after playing all day, they had zero rooms available. Our rooms had been paid for, for 2 weeks prior. I had called early that day to be reassured we would have rooms. No rooms. Rude employees. Was told unless we wanted to clean our own room we were not getting a room. When we asked for a manager we were told no managers work on the weekends and it’s our problem. We were laughed at for being frustrated. Unprofessional and will never go back.

Nice but noisy

Room was nice & clean but we were right next to the exit stairs & it was very noisy with people coming & going., late evening /early morning. Recommend to request a room away from the stairwell.
