The hotel is very pretty and updated. Having a heated pool and hot tube open all year is a plus. The other amenities are an additional cost. What I was disappointed in was the size of the rooms, the heat ac are very loud, if your room is faces the expressway you hear the traffic and the room needed a detailed cleaning. Which is disappointing since their price point is about $80 or so more a night compared to other local hotels in the area.
Dirty greasy hand prints on door to bathroom.
