Very impressed, the owners completely renovated the hotel. Rooms are spacious, lobby staff was friendly and assisted us a couple times. Have been here 7 or 8 times in the past (the kids love the pool & gym), we were delighted to see the renovations!

No hot breakfast. Disappointed and I had to spend more money to get breakfast elsewhere for me and my family. Was told by front desk there was a sign that said no hot breakfast available and I should have cancelled my reservation if I didn’t like it!

Located across from Meyers, easy walking for my mani/pedi, multiple food options. Full breakfast as long as the oven gets fixed. Grab and go available.
