Amenities such as the pool/jacuzzi and free breakfast were amazing. Breakfast was great, opened early at 6am with lots of options. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, they even gave us freshly baked cookies upon arrival! Nice little treat (especially for our kids).

The room was nice and quiet and we loved that the day we used the pool and hot tub no one was there so we were able to enjoy ourselves. Also the fact that the pool was heated was so nice! The staff was very friendly, would definitely stay there again.

Property was great and overall experience was good. The only thing that was an inconvenience was the room not being ready by 3 when check in time starts, had we not had 5 kids in the car it wouldn't have been a huge deal but keeping 5 kids while waiting for the room wasn't fun.

I would have given 5 stars, but was a little disappointed that during our 2 night stay the room was not cleaned, bed made, trash taken out, dirty towels replaced. Otherwise, everything was excellent!

This was my second time here (both short stays) and I've been happy both times. It's clean, the staff is friendly and helpful, and it just seems like a solid, well-run place. I appreciated that the internet was stable enough for me to take some work video calls. I liked having the water bottle refilling station downstairs.
