Decent breakfast, clean, but no frills. The person at checkin was overly officious. Care more about me filling out forms than getting me checked in and letting me know about check out and other important information.

Great hotel with a nice pool, hot tub, and chill out family area. They are strict on their pool policy though. Only people staying at the hotel can swim or even be in the pool area for that matter. This can be tough when you have family wanting to chill out with you and relax. They make you wear wrist bands.
