We had a great stay. The staff was very accommodating to our large group. We were on town for my Dad's funeral. Kelly opened up the conference room for us so could all be together.
Thank you!!

Very nice staff for my check in and check out. I was greated when I left and when I came back to the resort. The room felt roomy and clean. The hallway leading to my room was under construction. I think as a safety concern, they should have the hallway closed off and redirect people. I would have understood. The room was labeled as a garden view room. There was no garden, just a parking lot, dumpsters, job trailers and some grass. That all being said, I would still stay there again. was .
