We really enjoyed the pool with our little kiddos. They have a small, warm 1ft pool that was perfect for our baby and toddler! The main pool was also really nice, and a great temperature; The guy at the front desk was very nice and so helpful.
I was so pleased with our stay here! All staff from front desk to housekeeping were friendly and welcoming. Clean, comfortable beds, and very pet friendly for our 2 pugs. Even the outside area was picked up making walking the dogs enjoyable. Great pool and hot tub. As a plus, the water pressure was good! Highly recommend!
Great place to stay. Friendly staff. Clean, spacious rooms with hard flooring (which I really like). Good breakfast. Nice pool and hot tub. Great location.
Rooms are clean and quiet! We stayed for 4 nights. One bed was a bit more firm than the other, but still comfy. Our room had a balcony which we loved. Enjoyed the adult only pool hours and hot tub. My only complaints: breakfast was terrible. The scrambled eggs tasted…. Off. Like they had been sitting since the day before. They only have a very mini fridge that has half gallons of orange juice (that also tasted off), milk, cream cheese and hard boiled eggs. They also have a little cookie case at the front desk that I was kind of looking forward to, but didn’t see cookies at all throughout our stay. As long as you’re not wanting hotel breakfast or cookies, would recommend staying here!
The pool area is simple, well kept, and great for young children or adults. The 1ft wading pool is fantastic for toddlers, and the main pool has a good length for some lap swimming.
Traveling with my 4 year old Grandson and had a great time! Clean, quiet and very big room. Convenient location for our zoo visit, shopping and dining. The gentleman handling breakfast Sunday did a great job and very kind to my Grandson.
The manager and front desk people are so friendly and welling to help out when then can and the house keeping service is amazing. It smells so good once room done. I’ve been to alot of hotels and nothing beats the service I get here and the breakfast food is delicious and first hotel to have pizza that you can Cook here. I rate 5 star cause I never experience the service from any other hotel around here as good as this hotel. So beautiful and smells so cleanses here
Unfortunately some defects of the bathroom damaged my opinion but in generally it's ok
