Great Stay
Very nice hotel, fairly new from my estimate. I booked a lake view room, but when I got to my room it was not a lake view. When I told the front desk, she upgraded me to a suite with a lake view at no extra charge. Super helpful and friendly staff. Totally clean room.

Would definitely choose to stay here again!
Hotel check in staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were very clean with comfortable beds. I love how the hotel extras like shampoo and conditioner are larger and wall mounted for those who have super long hair. We all enjoyed breakfast with all the great variety. Hot tub jets were not working (hot still) but told us if needed we could use the hotel next doors (Hyatt). Pool hours were great! I love the check in and out times. Great hotel within walking distance to restaurants and shopping!

It was a clean, quiet, safe, and convenient stay. The beds were comfortable, and the shower was great. Breakfast was nice: scrambled eggs, omelettes, sausages, oatmeal with healthy toppings, bread and spread, etc. I missed having fresh fruit and alternative milk. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

I have never been treated so rudely by a front desk staff person. The worker didn’t look up from the computer and paper he was looking at nor did he greet me or say “just one moment”. After standing right in front of him for a minute or two I walked out and contemplated going to another hotel. I walked back in and he slowly stapled papers for another 30 seconds before saying “checking in?” He still didn’t greet me and never said thank you or anything. He was so rude and unfriendly. Not typical for hotel staff.
