The room was very clean and it was the first time I had a computerized check in and key made right in front of me out of what looks like an ATM machine. The host was via satellite on a screen. It was very advanced and very cool! They also allowed us a late checkout. Extremely comfortable beds. Thx for everything.

We had a lovely stay. The room was clean. The bed was a bit hard but okay. We tried to go into the hot tub and it was extremely dirty literally chunks of god knows what floating around. Would have gotten into the pool but it was cold, which was surprising because I expected it to be heated because it's an indoor pool. But the room itself was lovely.

Needed a room for the night. Stayed for the amenit

We stayed here because of the amenities. The putting green was great, cornhole was fun, the pool was cold, the hot tub was warm but no Jets were working. The beds were hard. We came to town for a doctor's appointment. It was good for just overnight and conveniently located close to our doctor's office. We would stay again for our next appointment.
