2 day stay
This stay was okay. A/C lagged behind but by the time we checked out it was doing okay (but was then 30degrees out. The toilet: just swirled and acted like it wasn't going to flush until the very end when it did. Overall it was clean. Pool and hot tub were nice. Front seat was nice.

My stay was very pleasant. The staff checking me in was nice and helpful. I'm not from the area, so when I ask for directions, they help me out. The pool and exercising room was very clean and very well kept

The hotel and the staff were great. The room was smaller than expected but still nice. The bed was a little uncomfortable and the water pressure in the shower was low. Over all a good stay
