8/10 Good
"This is located in a great location and hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating. It is two floors and pet friendly. We were there for a local race and they had breakfast ready early on race day knowing how many were in need without even asking. The rooms were clean and they also provide the best information for guests at the desk for dining and entertainment. The bathtubs are larger than normal hotel tubs and the rooms were clean and smell free. The room has a mini fridge with freezer (which was huge for us because we had ice packs), microwave, and Keurig. On the grounds they offer multiple fire pits and a patio to hang out. They also have guest laundry, a fitness center, a large pool and an outdoor hot tub. The hot-tub does need a little maintenance, but the first day there it was hot and felt great. The breakfast area is large and clean, the attendant kept everything well stocked both days and they have waffles, pancakes, oatmeal, cereal, eggs, chorizo, sausage biscuits & gravy, bagels, toast, yogurt, coffee, tea, and juices so everyone is sure to find something. The most important part of my review is the thorough honest staff. I received a message once we were three hours out on our way home and they found my jacket and external charger in our room when cleaning. They reached out to me and are shipping it back to me! My family have left things at hotels a few times and never have I been contacted with the notice. Usually I call them and sometimes they find it."
