Excellent service. The young lady who checked us in went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We were early, and had a difficult time arriving due to travel issues, but she let us in our room early and gave us snacks and treats to cheer us up. The hotel was in excellent condition as well and even had a warm indoor pool which we enjoyed!

The property was kept really clean and was maintained well! I was so happy to feel cleanliness in the bathroom as if I were home. The facility was clean from the moment you stepped in, in the dining areas, elevator, and all the way up to the rooms. There was even hand sanitizer @ the elevator. The staff was really nice upon our checking in and any time we encountered them in between our 3 night stay.

Everything was great, We would have given 5 stars except the pool heater was broken and the water was super cool. However we were able to use another Hotel's pool that was heated, but it was about a 8 min drive away.
