Everyone was so incredibly nice! The pools was nice and clean. Our room was very spacious and clean. It appeared to have been recently remodeled. Pillows were awful! Even though the advertised a hot tub there wasn’t one. However, the breakfast made up for the hot tub and pillows. Holy Moly! The breakfast was on point! Would 100% recommend.

The rooms were very clean. Water pressure in the shower was great. Staff was very courteous once you got their attention. The breakfast was top notch with lots of options. My favorite was the egg white omelette, bacon and cinnamon rolls.

Staff is always awesome. Floors were filthy in the room. Breakfast options aren't very appealing, such as egg white omelets and the potatoes don't really look cooked.

A high-pitched sound came from the bathroom at night. (Probably all the time, but most noticeable when trying to sleep.) Shutting the door helped, but it wasn’t good.
