The jacuzzi closed at 9PM, I wish it was open to at least 10PM. Also, on our next to last day, the jacuzzi and pool were closed.

Property was very convenient for us during my daughter's soccer tournament. Room was great large space a bit dated but overall great, suite had mini kitchenet and worked great for us. Continental breakfast was good, and the kids enjoyed the options, then could have more toasters available so we are not waiting. Overall would definitely stay here again with my family.

It's ok...spider webs over the lights, balconies...surprised by $15 charge... it's hidden in the fine print. Was told it was for parking and breakfast, but on website says that's supposed to be included. Typical bait tactics to get you to book... instead of just including it in the price.

Staff was nice and helpful. Place was clean and they came and made beds and replaced towels daily. Nice breakfast, hot and cold, fruit, cereal, yogurt, bagels, waffles, sausage, eggs, omlettes and a variety of jucies, teas and coffee. The room was quite large and had a very nice kitchenette. I was expecting a mini fridge but there was a quarter size fridge with freezer. There was also a microwave and small stove. There was dishes, a pan and silverware as well. A nice find was that the pool was heated. The kids loved that. Overall I would stay here again.
