Front desk staff at check in was great! She knew I pulled around back to park & that I was using a crutch, & she was considerate enough to meet me back there with a luggage cart. She was really super nice!

We enjoyed our stay. Our room comfortable and clean. A litt disappointed in the restaurant and bar being closed early. However snacks were available by check in desk and fresh to make coffee's. Hungout in lobby area since it was raining to wait on the shuttle. Also enjoyed the use of swimming pool and hot tub. Everyone was nice and friendly.
