Good hotel for family. Stayed during state basketball it was clean and worked great for family. The game room shown in picture costs $5 per hour per person. It was after a snow storm when arrived and the snow removal was poor.

Comfy and relaxing

My biggest complaint is that the gameroom isn't free. I didn't see any indications that it costs extra on this app. Otherwise, a great place to stay. Very clean. Room had plenty of ammenities... including a small dining table and real dishes to use. Game room was fun. Pool was a great temp. Hot tub was over chlorinated. Breakfast was typical, but good. Nearby... I wouldn't eat at the Ruby Tuesday next door. The italian place across the road has better food, but slower service. Prehistoric mini golf was much better than I anticipated. I would go there again. If you're into the bar sceen, the Historic Haymarket is the place to go.
