Exceptionally clean with very well maintained rooms. My family had a variety of regular rooms and suites, all exceeded our expectations. The staff was extremely friendly and quick to help. Breakfast was delicious, although the cinnamon rolls were so popular that they ran out both mornings before everyone in my family could try them. My only complaint was that the pool on our second night was out of balance and the chlorine smell was burning our eyes. I will definitely stay here again if I am In the area and will Highly recommend it!

Smooth check-in. Great service. Friendly and helpul staff. Housekeeping staff went above and beyond to help with wheelchair accommodations. I'm not sure og her name but she helped me all the way to the room and took back the cart. And made sure the wheelchair was put in the room before she left my side. So Thankful. Clean and spacious room.

We've stayed here numerous times and this is a nice hotel for families. They offer a zero entry pool for the little ones along with a small slide. The main pool. Reaches a maximum depth of 4'9". Rooms are spacious and the whole hotel is clean and well kept. The staff is welcoming and courteous. They offer a nice breakfast in the morning also.

The hotel employee working 7/4 night was very accommodating to our needs and very friendly. She was working hard all night. We appreciate her efforts! Breakfast was fine the next morning- eggs, omelets, milk, yogurt, cereal, biscuits and gravy. They ran out of pancake batter and chocolate milk. Pool (~3-4 feet) was nice and hot tub and kiddie pool. Quick, easy, unplanned stay for us.
