Enjoyed our stay. This is a great property if traveling with pets. Wish they had maintained their pool area better, as the sauna did not work, the hot tub was 4-6” shortof being filled. This meant that none of its water could cycle through the filter system. The children’s pool was out of order.

Traveling for a funeral, this was a really good place to stay. Heated pool, Jacuzzi and sauna was a nice destresser. The bed was very comfortable, got a great night sleep, safe environment. Convenient store and Sonic across the street and a DG down the street. I'd definitely stay here again!
