Weekend Getaway

It's a little bit of an older hotel but still very nice and clean. The pool and the hot tub are amazing. Staff is really nice as well.

Typically there is at least one thing I can write about a property that could improve upon or that wasn't as good as I would have hoped. This place though checked all the good boxes. It was clean and quiet, check in was simple and friendly (very personable lady working the counter. She gave great recommendations for dining and had a solid sense of humor.) the pool and hot tub was also clean and was a nice treat after a long day. I would definitely stay here in the future.

Didn’t like the location of the room it was right next to the lobby so it was a little noisy and every time we opened the door you could see into the room other than that it was nice
