10/10 Excellent

We love this hotel! We've stayed 2-3 times in the last couple of years. This last time was the best, starting with Michelle, who checked us into the hotel. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and just great in representing the hotel. Our room was fantastic, beds were so comfortable even after a full day at Adventureland. The shower had multiple adjustments, and it had these awesome shampoo, conditioner, and body wash pumps on the wall of the shower - they smelled wonderful! The pool/whirlpool...

The staff and front desk were amazing. We had a slight issue with our toilet in the room let the front desk know and it was fixed by the time we got back. The full kitchen came in handy since many nights we were gone late and we left early mornings before breakfast was served. I called the front desk the day we left after we got home and they were willing to go above and beyond to help find something that we thought we had left behind but we ended up finding it, but service was second to...

The staff was so friendly! This hotel is modern and so clean! Our room is as very nice and the pool was perfect! The water was warm and felt so good after a long day at an amusement park. A grab and go breakfast was provided which included muffins, Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich, yogurt, oatmeal and fruit. Great morning starter for our family! The ratings for this hotel are spot on, I’d stay at this hotel again!

This place was absolutely amazing! They are taking a lot of precautions with Covid, so we were still able to use all of the facilities, but in a way that felt safe and structured. The staff went above and beyond for us and were always super nice. The area is really cute and there’s plenty of restaurants and stores to walk to. Groceries were also nearby. We worked out of here for three days and the WiFi worked great. We would highly recommend!
