Miracle Springs Resort & Spa
Room was clean, average hotel. Although we were in a non- smoking floor, there was definitely someone smoking cigarettes:-(. Room walls are thin, can hear your neighbor. Restaurant hotel was good and prices were surprisingly inexpensive. Hotel is older however, it does need upgrades.
