When I walked in, the front desk staff was very welcoming! The hotel was super clean, and so was our room. And the bed was super comfortable! The complimentary breakfast was so good, and the variety was incredible. My overall stay was amazing. I’ll definitely be staying here again and recommending this hotel to my friends and family! Thank you for a great stay 👍

The pool was cold, so my children preferred to swim in the lake. Breakfast was tasty but the variety was average. The front desk workers were not knowledgeable and didn’t seem motivated to help. The staff running the breakfast were kind and exceptionally helpful.
