This place was great, I rarely give a 5 star review, but I've had some 1 star reviews on the past couple of hotels, this place was nice from the check-in process, our room was clean, and the pool and hot tub was great, the breakfast was very good and hot food was served with plenty of options. We were within walking distance of a few restaurant options, I'd stay here again. I recommend this hotel.

Staff was nice and helpful, room was clean. But our room was on the side of the building that was close to a busy street. A traffic light was next to the hotel entrance. Cars revving up when the light turned green made our stayvery noisy, all night.

Staff was nice but a bit indifferent about the issues with the breakfast. Ran out of many things over the course of our 3 night stay. Pool and hot tub were nice (pool was pleasantly warm) and the kids loved it! Close walk to the movie theater for 1 of our nights. We were in the end close to the road where a lot of wanna-be badasses loved to rev their low end muscle cars.
