stayed here to go to a festival at Legend Valley. chose it because it was walking distance to the shuttle stop. they have many food options around the hotel as well as room service and a bar/restaurant inside. there’s a little corner with snacks and travel items for purchase that’s 24/7. area was nice. hotel room was fine. the shower door wouldn’t stay close but we just propped it close with a towel. will stay here again.
