"My overnight impromptu stay was better than expected. I was in town for a baseball tournament and decided to get a room last minute vs driving home 2hrs just to get back on the road at 6am to drive another 2hrs.

"We stayed because a grandson was running in the State Track meet. We had other grandkids - disappointed that 2 of the pools were closed, but enjoyed the one that was open. We happened to leave 3 pillows in Room 270. We stopped back after the track meet - about 5:00 pm and no one could find them. Very disappointed about that!! Still hope they will look into that and try to find them and let us know - we left a phone number."

"My wife and I love this hotel, but this stay had a few more bumps: Check in: check in we will blame on getting in very late, but It took some time to get help to get checked in with no way to contact anybody. Staff member was speedy and kind with us. It was pretty smooth sailing from there. Cleanliness: lobby was pristine. Hotel looks very nice.
