"Nice change of pace hotel on a road trip. Has a restaurant attached (sports bar), pool and hot tub, decent breakfast, and even a small miniature golf course. The only issue was that it was a Friday night and the hot tub was filled with young children. Not a great place for an old man to soak after driving 10 hours."
