My family and I loved the comfortable beds, extra pillows, pool, hot tub and the make your own waffles for breakfast! A suggestion: bigger pool towels, and more vending machine options. Overall, we loved our stay and will definitely be coming back!

Amazing Place To Stay
This was my 3rd time staying at this hotel and as always it was an amazing stay. Staff is always friendly and polite. The hotel is always extremely clean. It’s very quiet even when it’s full house unlike most other hotels. I would definitely recommend staying here. I will forever keep coming back to stay here.

Everything was great. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The only issue we had is the beds were way too soft. You may want to consider replacing or adding firmer mattresses.
