10/10 Excellent
"This is my second time staying here. The staff is so friendly and warm. The lady that takes care of breakfast is beyond outstanding. I watched as she constantly cleaned, refreshed the food, and made sure everyone was taken care of. She would come get plates and the customers that stay there for out of town jobs all knew her and she treated everyone like family!! The front desk also are very warm, and make sure everything is ready for you. When I travel back that way again this is the only hotel I want to stay at!! Thank you to all staff for making a home for everyone traveling!!"

"Property was well managed, maintained and secured to ensure you and your family could unwind, relax and enjoy the oasis at the hotel. The pool was great but the expansive hot tub was just what the body needed after a full day of hiking in the area parks. Couldn't say enough about the relaxing & therapeutic benefits to hitting the hot tub each night, even with a random guest the 3rd night hitting the emergency stop button like a game show contestant before asking if that was how you turned on the jets longer. Thank goodness we had already enjoyed 25 minutes of the jacuzzi before that party foul. We will book again when back in the area."
