Good size room. Great staff. Helpful polite. Good facilities though a charge for tennis and pickle ball courts. Great place to come to relax and enjoy some fitness, a round of golf or hit a few balls on the driving range.

Decent Business Stay

4th time I've stayed here. Gym, Pool and Sauna free to use for guests. I received a free room upgrade this time, but all the rooms I've stayed in are decent sized with good facilities. Decent Food and Drink reasonably priced.
