The facility is beautiful and well maintained. Rooms were large and included high quality toiletries. The spa was fabulous! Room for improvement with the towels as they were very scratchy. Had an issue checking in due to a change in reservation with Expedia but front desk was not very helpful until a manager intervened after 20 minutes of hassling.

Every thing about this place was awesome! First the beds were super comfy. I have stayed at hotels with soft beds that you sink into but too soft to sleep in. This hotel have perfect beds. The bathroom was very clean and the staff changed towels daily. The pool was nice and relaxing and the hot tubs were great! It’s a close drive to downtown and other sightseeing places. Staff were friendly and huge parking lot.
