Pleased with our stay

Staff was very friendly and provided complimentary water bottles to each member of our family upon check in. Rooms were clean, closely located to the outdoor pool and hot tub. Hot tub could’ve been a little hotter but the kids enjoyed both. The breakfast was decent. They had plenty of options and it did the job. We would definitely stay here again!

This was our second stay this season. Kids absolutely love the pool and hottub. Friendly staff. I requested first floor when we arrived because I have an arthritic foot. He said the place is booked but when we were by the pool, waiting to check in at 4pm, the manager made the change and put us on the first floor. The family that owns the place really tries to accomodate their guests. Thank you so much.

The continental breakfast was terrible. No waffle maker, just a pancake machine that made cardboard like pancakes. No meats or warm eggs. Cold boiled eggs in a refrigerator only. Coffee machine also terrible. The highlight of their breakfast was a banana The maid didn’t even pick up used towels from the floor or make beds. Maid service was leaving a few new towels and emptying the garbage can. Otherwise I wouldn’t have known anyone was in the room at all. The train nearby goes through all hours of the night. Beware!
