"We stayed in a King Suite for 4 nights. It was very spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and found little to criticize. The breakfast buffet was different each day and we found it to our liking. We did not use the pool, hot tub or exercise equipment but they looked inviting and well-maintained. We did experience some intermittent Internet service in our room, and the jets on the jacuzzi did not seem to work. But neither of these caused us a big problem. We had a nice, quiet and relaxing stay and look forward to going back."
