Great stay
It was a nice hotel, nothing to complain about here. Breakfast was decent and rooms were comfortable. Close to a lot of other businesses. I would definitely stay here again.

We ended up in a Multi-bed Suite because a lot were sold out. The kids (and parents) loved all of the room!! Very clean, easy check in process, and easy to get to! Our room looked over the pond so that was a plus for the kiddos to see all of the geese!

Was a decent hotel. Room wasn’t ready when we got there. Staff seemed annoyed that we were there. Have stayed here before but this was not the normal service we have gotten.

Great Stay
Very nice hotel, fairly new from my estimate. I booked a lake view room, but when I got to my room it was not a lake view. When I told the front desk, she upgraded me to a suite with a lake view at no extra charge. Super helpful and friendly staff. Totally clean room.

Would definitely choose to stay here again!
Hotel check in staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were very clean with comfortable beds. I love how the hotel extras like shampoo and conditioner are larger and wall mounted for those who have super long hair. We all enjoyed breakfast with all the great variety. Hot tub jets were not working (hot still) but told us if needed we could use the hotel next doors (Hyatt). Pool hours were great! I love the check in and out times. Great hotel within walking distance to restaurants and shopping!

The stay was fine, pool has way too much chlorine in it walking in the pool area instantly made your eyes burn with how much chlorine was in there but overall wasn't bad
