It was a nice place and you get vouchers to their tavern y for a pancake breakfast which is much nicer than your average hotel breakfast. The only two downfalls was we booked a 1 queen bed room and got put in a 2 standard bed room which really wasn’t a big deal just the fact that’s not what I booked & we were also leaving in a hurry on my birthday & our door wouldn’t lock so we had to wait for maintenance to come fix it but they were quick and kind. Just kinda a bad start to the day. Otherwise it is a nice place to stay and I think we’d book there again.

Was nice and clean easy access to attractions very pleasant people at front desk willing to accommodate what ever you needed. Only thing was air conditioning Didn't sem to keep it very cool. Might been due to being located in back of room by bathroom. But would still recommend this hotel to anyone. For the price was well above expectations.

Staff was very nice. Right along the main strip so kind of loud with traffic going by. One of the rooms we had, there was a gap all the way around the top of the door.

Would definitely stay again…

We enjoyed our stay. It was quiet & peaceful even with a new roller coaster being put in next door. The room was very nice, clean, & offered a wonderfully comfortable bed. The staff was very kind & welcoming. The location was very good, also. The only suggestion we could make is that the bathtub in the room we had needs repaired or replaced bc it was “chipped up” in multiple places, & parking was fairly tight.

Nice relaxing stay!

It was very nice. The front desk attendant Brianna was pleasant and helpful. The room was comfortable, we do wish the water pressure was better though. The restaurant was nice also.
