We loved our stay. The pool was very clean and warm. The room was nice and normal, no unusual aspects. Clean and comfy beds and huge bathroom and room space. The staff were great and very helpful and kind. Would love to see dairy free options for breakfast and more selection but breakfast was ok for my child. We have already booked another stay. Most quiet nights sleep at a hotel get! Good place to just get away.

This place was scary. I don't understand all of the reviews being good. It is aged, rundown, and very dark. It seemed clean. They had a candy machine that's it for snack availability. Although I had prepaid I came close to going some place else. The guy at the counter was a gentleman and the bed seemed clean. Never going back. Too spooky.

We stay while at Drake relays. This year there were tornado warnings and they allowed us to seek shelter in a lower level.

Loved the theming of the hotel. Hotel was clean and rooms very good size with lots of amenities. We loved the pool and hot tub that had extended hours for adults on the weekend. Would definitely stay here again for safety of the location, easy access to dining & shopping, and close drive to downtown.
