The suite gave our family more space which is great, and there’s def a family vibe to the hotel. The kids loved the outward facing elevators and the feeding the koi fish.
I stayed here every time we would come down here when I was younger on family trips. Now I’m back years later with my boyfriend everything was Perfect and great service all around
Comfortable large room ( king suite with queen Murphy bed)
Happy hour -2 free drinks- and breakfast are always great perks

Staff was great, no issues. Nice clean room and bed, shower had weird tiny tub. Parking is 47$ a night, pretty ridiculous. Next time I’d just park on the road outside the property. Not bad at all for the price per night though, would recommend.

Good hotel in general, but some areas should be renewed (old carpet, bed-sofa falling apart, and bathroom design).
Great customer service and food. During our stay our bathroom sink clogged, we didn’t not have towels, but the hotel’s personnel took care of it pretty quickly.
You could improve on breakfast. The breakfast is not so great. You could instruct the staff members to use a different cloth to wipe the tables out because it is stinking. The parking is insanely expensive $42 is too much for any parking. If you could improve on these things that would be great. The rooms are very good. It is quite. The services are very good. The whole staff members are excellent.
