Quick overnight stay. Friendly staff. The desk manager had kindly turned the room heat on an hour before check in, on a 14 degree day. Clean room, comfortable bed. Recommend.

Staff was wonderful that I spoke with. Room was clean when I walked in, but found hair on the beds pillows and sheets and in the bathroom. Was surprised that when we came back at the end of the day, the trash was changed and towels were changed, but surprised the bed wasn’t done up, and sheets weren’t changed. Breakfast was kinda disappointing. I was hoping for some protein options and just a few more options in general. Not to par with “warm breakfast buffet” as stated on the website.

The staff was super helpful and the room was nice. It’s not a high quality resort if that’s what you’re looking for but our stay was super comfortable and we’ll definitely be back.

The staff who checked me in was verry nice and accommodating. however, the Hot tub was a warm tub, I assume it was due to the kids popping in and out of the pool and tub. however over all I'd come again. PS I don't remember her name but KEEP HER!
