We decided to specifically stay there for the first time because we wanted, firepit, lanai, food, alcohol and a room with a jetted tub!! This is hands down the best jetted tub around! We travel a lot and stay in rooms that only have tubs, lanai, and fire. The staff was sooooo friendly and very helpful. The room was huge and had everything you could want for fabulous comfy stay! We're already re planning a trip just for the hotel.

This is a very nice hotel. Very clean and staff were friendly. It was really quiet and not loud like other hotels. They did have breakfast but when we checked in the lady didn’t let us know that our reservation didn’t come with breakfast so we at elsewhere. They also charged for parking. The refrigerator didn’t work in the room and the ice maker on our floor wasn’t working. Other than that we enjoyed ourselves. We probably won’t stay here again because of the breakfast and I don’t think we should have to pay extra as some hotels have complementary breakfast for around the same price. They wanted to charge almost $27 for each person.

Nice enough hotel but appalled by the $22 per night parking charge which just seemed like a money grab. This is a suburban hotel surrounded by acres of half filled parking lot. None of the other hotels in the area that I’ve stayed at charge for parking, think I will be staying at one of those places next time. Also, very annoying that there was no mirror above the sink in the bathroom because of the silly shutters which opened out into the bedroom.
