Everyone and everything has been top notch! Pool was great, hot tub was great, fresh baked cookies, wonderful beds and different bed pillow options; soft, firm. Soap, shampoo, conditioner refillable dispensers! They should be in every hotel, motel, Inn, motor lodge, etc!! Tiny soaps and tiny bottles should be banned ⚠️⚠️. I would highly recommend this place!

We had a problem in our room. The TV/Remote didn't work and the heat/ac unit didn't work. However the staff were excellent and provided us with a new room near the original room and everything worked there.
