This was our first time staying at this hotel. We were there during a very stressful, somber moment as my Mother had just passed away. The Staff and Management were very helpful and supportive. The rooms are modern, well kept and quiet. Mary Beth, the General Manager was very nice and accomodating and even brought my wife and I a complementary bottle of wine since my wife and I were also quietly trying to celebrate our 37th Wedding Anniversary all at the same time! We would highly recommend the...

My biggest complaint is that the gameroom isn't free. I didn't see any indications that it costs extra on this app. Otherwise, a great place to stay. Very clean. Room had plenty of ammenities... including a small dining table and real dishes to use. Game room was fun. Pool was a great temp. Hot tub was over chlorinated. Breakfast was typical, but good. Nearby... I wouldn't eat at the Ruby Tuesday next door. The italian place across the road has better food, but slower service....
