"We had a great stay! The hotel was really nice, clean, and in a great location. Breakfast was great, and we really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. Our kids especially loved the indoor/outdoor pool—you can swim right from the indoor pool to the outdoor section, which they thought was so much fun! The staff was super friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to try the evening Kickback, but we really appreciated that it was offered along with the complimentary breakfast. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again!"
