The hotel was nice, clean and the employees were friendly and accommodating. The breakfast buffet was pretty good. My only complaint was that the WIFI would constantly fail causing me to have to log in numerous times which was was very frustrating.

Clean rooms, comfy bed. Hotel can use some updates. Pool and spa need a deep clean. Mold and mildew around the edges. Outdoor area was beautiful but with only one fire pit, good luck getting to sit around it. Pizza and ice cream parlor have very limited hours so don't plan on those. Hotel restaurant is down the street, not close. Must drive to most places. Town is pretty spaced out.
