Great room. Very comfortable. Mini fridge microwave space on 2 sides of 1 of 2 queen beds. Pool was warm enough for kids and some adults. Hot tub was very warm. Breakfast was very good. Pancake maker really did not work.

Bit hard to find in dark. Behind another hotel with tiny “garage sale “ size sign.

"Wonderful Stay - Would Return"

10.0

I wish I could have stayed longer! This was a beautiful property! I used my IHG Rewards points to stay one night free, and while some places treat you differently when you've used rewards, the desk staff at this hotel actually went out of their way to upgrade my room, which was such a welcome luxury after 18 hours on the road! The room was incredibly quiet and had a gorgeous view of a wooded area. There were plenty of outlets, the room was very clean, and the shower had plenty of hot water. I didn't eat the breakfast (I had my own food with me) so I can't comment on that, but the internet was fast and reliable, the bed was very comfortable, and everything was very clean and ran smoothly. I would come back to this property in a heartbeat. It was also a quick ride to the airport (around 15 minutes).
