Beautiful property only stayed for one night while picking up my new puppy. But it was beautiful and I felt perfectly safe at 3:00 a.m. walking around outside the nice dog friendly areas.

Friendly staff at Check-in & Check Out we had a fairly clean room, there was a piece of candy under the edge of the bed and it wasn’t from us so not sure how clean it really was.
Excellent location with great rooms and plenty of near by dining options

Liked: Room comfort
Comfortable Bed, but a very busy weekend spot, no
Solid stay. The staff are nice. This is a tremendously busy place on the weekends, with kids running in the halls until they let get reigned in at midnight. Comfortable beds. We were told on Friday that the pool doesn’t open until 3–which is kind of why I book this hotel routinely. I like to swim in the morning.
