Miss Mary, Miss Maddie, Miss Brittany and Mr Bill are among a few of the personnel in which I had the pleasure of interacting with everyday. Professional, courteous and kind these are only a few of the ways I would describe them. Thank you all. Kudos to Brittany during the tornado alert. I know it was stressful to call every room and ensure everyone has been alerted. Kudos to Mr Bill for going out and retrieving a guest during this hectic time. It would be nice is the hotel had a PA system to make it a little more efficient during an alert. Housekeeping did a wonderful job as well during my two week stay.

Pool was absolutely freezing- even for kids. Hot tub was lukewarm so definitely something wrong with the heater. Room was mediocre but bathroom was very moldy, and missing the sink drain so just overall in disrepair. Breakfast was basic but juice unavailable for our stay, no replacement beverages offered or available.
