    We stayed at the hotel with a large group for the weekend. Stephanie, the GM, and her team were absolutely amazing—extremely helpful, always available, and incredibly patient. We came with a large group of kids, and despite the noise and mess, the hotel staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating to them, which we truly appreciated. The hotel itself is older, but many of the rooms have been renovated. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Overall, it was a great stay. The kids were happy, and everything worked out smoothly. I would highly recommend staying here.

    I stayed here to have the Thanksgiving Buffet and go swimming in thier pool,the buffet was excellent and lots of selections and well worth the money,but the pool was closed and under construction along with other different areas of the hotel,and make sure you put your exercise shoes on,because the elevator to the guest rooms is a long walk down the hallway to the other end of the hotel.other than that,the service and cleanliness of the room was excellent and everything worked fine.if you don't plan on eating in the hotel's Restaurant for dinner, I recommend eating at a different exit,because their are not a whole lot of Restaurant options at the same exit as the hotel,or in the vicinity!
