Property, building and room was very clean. Kitchen and bathroom in room was clean and had all I needed. Bed was very comfortable and had very nice down pillows & bed coverings. I didn’t use the pool or hot tub, so no comments. My only negative comment is my room was right across from the office and every morning I could hear several staff members in the hallway talking and laughing pretty LOUDLY. This is not very considerate to guests when some need to or like to sleep later due to work schedules, or vacation, etc. I will request a room away from those areas if I stay there again.

The hotel was fine - my room was clean and well-appointed. The weekend I stayed there was a problem with the key-card system and on three separate occasions I had to get a new key at the front desk. That was pretty annoying.

No kids along on this trip. There was a large loud family that monopolized the swimming pool and spa for quite a while. They left it messy. Towels everywhere, candy wrappers in the floor.
