8.6/10 Excellent! (1,000 reviews)
Very clean, spacious and quiet. Only downside was the pool room was freezing. The A/C was on when it was sub-20 degrees outside! The water temp was nice, but it was too cold in the room to want to enter the pool.

Great experience; our room and bed were a bit on the small side for 2 adults, but the property and spa were great. Friendly and accommodating staff
