Stayed a weekend here. It was a super clean and comfortable place to rest after a long drive. I’m really picky about hotels and I have nothing negative to say about this place. I slept well in a comfortable bed with warm cozy bedding. The hotel is nice and new and the staff are doing a great job at keeping things running smoothly already.

Great place to stay for weekend
Our stay was excellent but breakfast items were not stocked, counters were not clean the second day, came back late from a marching band competition the parking lot was full as there was a concert going on behind the hotel. The Concert was fine, but it was an inconvenience for those paying for the hotel to find parking and almost impossible but people were leaving. When asking the Staff that was on that night we were told that the hotel was full and sold out as to why the parking lot was full. Concert was completed at 10:00pm and by 10:30 over half the parking lot was empty with plenty of parking. So why not just be honest about it when asked and maybe not allow the public to park in the parking lot where your patrons are parking. The room itself was neat and clean, the beds were comfortable. Overall the experience was decent and would definitely stay again.

This was a great place. They have not been open long - about a month. So some things were still being worked out. The hot tub was not hot but they were working on it. The pool was heated and felt great. Beautiful place!

This place just opened in the last month and really it’s is almost perfect. The hot tub was mentioned not too warm at checkin and that was certainly the case. The pool was extra warm so it made up for it. Would try again to see if things have been fixed. 😊
