Call hotel for actual room information.
Be careful when booking. No breakfast included as advertised on weekends even when bookimg a room.that includes it in the description. Room with 2 fulls beds absolutely terrible sleeping. We were on the 7th floor the parking lot was still.very loud. The room was clean. Checkin was good, checkout was poor. The young man seemed very put out that I questioned about the breakfast issue. He asked another staff member wjo stated this was not the first time this happened however she did nothing about it. Very disappointing overall.

Beautiful setting! Very spacious, friendly staff and clean! We didnt care for the restaurant, Mr. G's, food was tastless, only one waitress for the whole dining room, and bar tender did not know how to make mix drinks. Definitely do not recommend this restaurant. Go to Apple Bettys down the road.

Your site advertised the room at $129 for the night I wanted but the two times I touched Reserve it bumped the rate to $139. I finally gave it but was not happy about it. Expedia site included breakfast but hotel said no even though I showed where website offered it

The room was wonderful, clean and comfortable. My only concern was dining options for children due to gambling. I should have checked into that better. But the hotel was great.

I will never be coming back here. The beds were small, the room was filthy, the bathroom sink did not drain at all, the pillows appeared to have drool on them and “housekeeping” never made the beds, vacuumed, etc. One day they didn’t even empty trash or give us new towels at all and I had to go to the front desk twice to have the bathroom sink issue resolved. There were kids running up and down the halls, screaming, and at one point someone was smoking in the hall or outside and the smell filled our room. I don’t usually write bad reviews but I could not believe how awful my experience was. Spend the extra money and stay somewhere clean, don’t make the same mistake I did.
