Beds were a little hard and the hotel rooms are a little bit dated. However, it’s clean, staff were helpful and it’s quiet. There is a nice fridge, microwave and good breakfast.

Great Staff

Staff was AWESOME. They were kind and super helpful. The food was kept loaded for breakfast and that lady was working hard because it was packed. She helped with a smile and made conversation to help ease the chaos. (There was some sort of softball tournament) The kiddie pool heater was broken but the water was still warm enough to use it. My only complaints would be is that the halls were LOUD until past 3am. (Kept waking my 2 small kids) However I know thats part of staying in a hotel (especially with how full it was). The second complaint I would have is that the bed was super hard. So overall it was a great place to stay! I feel my complaints are minor but want to leave a 100% honest review. Did I mention the staff was awesome?!?!

last minute

very clean and comfy beds. We were there for 3 nights and wasn't once offered new sheets or garbages. Had to ask myself and change my own garbages. Breakfast only runs for so long, but nice breakfast. However me and my boys slept in and by the time we woke up it was done, and asked if we could get a little carton of milk, nope couldn't even get that. However, cleanliness and comfort excellent!
