The rare hotel with a large, functioning hot tub. That was nice. Good restaurants and bars are a short drive away. The Bennigans restaurant that’s attached to it is fine, but temper expectations on food quality. It’s basically a TGI Fridays. Hotel is pretty good all around.

Great place to stay. Great Pool and Hot tub, However the flooring by the pool/Hot tub was very slippery. My suggestion don't use the tile that is in there but a pool side rougher material. So you do not end up with a lawsuit from someone slipping. Other than that, we really were pleased with our stay.
