I booked my double queen suite on hotel.com for 340.00 to include taxes. When we went to check in they tacked on an extra 100.00 incidental fee which was unexpected and not specified in the fine print. I also, asked for a military discount since we are a military family and the don’t offer that. The shower had hair inside the shower door, fortunately I brought clorox wipes so I can clean. The price would have been worth it if breakfast was included. We stayed here due to a gymnastics meet. The area is beautiful but be prepared to either travel for food options or pay extra on site.

A must stay

Perfect place it was clean, quiet, and the shower was a dream. Waterfall shower the best I have ever used lots of water. I wish I would’ve stayed in like June or July so I could’ve used the pool but it was way too cold for that and it was raining for two days. The only bad thing is no microwave in the rooms, my wife and I like waking up at 5:30am an sit out on the balcony and drink coffee but we had soda instead. We’re definitely coming back but after they finish the new building that’s being built. But it’s a must stay.
