The staff were absolutely wonderful. Everything was clean and they had an open bar and the bartender was absolutely amazing. The lady at the front desk couldn’t have been more helpful. It had been a long trip and they were right there, waiting on us hand and foot.

Limited options for someone with food allergies, bed was comfortable but room was hastily remodeled. Drywall dust everywhere, bathroom sink p trap not connected, shower curtain rod was moved and had wet drywall mud still in the patches, lock on door was hanging off. No one at desk for 10 minutes upon arriving, had to go ask for towels. Ice machine was broken and the one on the lower level was moldy. Pool was hot, hot tub out of order. For the price it was ok, room was just slapped together and not properly cleaned after construction.
