We stay here a lot. Great location and easy to get there. Some rooms need updating. The couches and chairs need replaced. The beds are comfortable and jetted tub works great. Pool is heated and hot tub is big. We love the waterfall. The free breakfast was good with pancakes, eggs, and bacon.

The 2nd night the children were also running around, jumping off beds and screaming but it ended around 10 which is when we went to bed, so that was nice, otherwise we would have complained to the front ...
