Room was nice, very clean and the free breakfast was good. The only disappointing thing was that the pool and Jacuzzi were not very clean. I would stay again though.

We stay every Thanksgiving at this Hotel. The surprise this time was a walk in shower instead of the tub. That is wonderful for us as we get older. We stayed at a Fairfield Inn for several days in Jacksonville, Fl also in November. They had a different menu each day which was really nice for a long stay. Different meat, variety of fruit, omelets instead of scrambled eggs etc.
