It was okay

It was nice, but the breakfast was free and it was that good either and I found a stink bug in my room. Also I was really looking forward to the hot tub and it was broken, the whole time I was there.

The room was comfortable and clean. The hotel was very big and had a saloon and restaurant, however the restaurant was not open so we had to eat in the saloon which was ok. The outside area had no benches or tables to just sit and relax. Staff was extreemly helpful and let us check in early.

Great value for family stay

So overall it was ok. Staff was very nice. The breakfast was great. However its currently under renovation repairs and it took us a few tries to get a room where there wasnt an issue. The front desk was very accommodating and the location was right off highway. Only 15 minutes give or take to the park so it was convenient.
