I will always stay here!
This place is a hidden gem! Walking paths just off the drive. Clean, nice sized, indoor, Jacuzzi, and actual 5' deep pool! Staff is friendly and respectful of your wishes. Breakfast is fresh even to the end of the morning. Halls and door ways are wide and spacious throughout!

A grand 2 night stay
Very nice, clean, updated hotel that's easy to access and in a quiet, safe area. Bed wasn't the most comfortable but not terrible, with good pillows. Room was spacious, clean, and cozy. Breakfast was normal continental items and well stocked. Pool/aera was excellent size and temperature with an amazing hot tub!
