Great staff, clean and comfortable room. The bed was comfortable with decent linens. An older hotel, but has been updated. The restaurant has good food and dinner service.

Friendly staff. Room was nice, clean and spacious with kitchenette. Enjoyed the hot tub and pool. Continental breakfast was good but personally would have liked some yogurt for protein. Definitely stay there again.
