The room was clean and smelled nice. Bedding was fresh. When we needed more towels, the front desk was helpful and responsive. The continental breakfast was simple. Nothing wrong with that, but if you want protein options for breakfast, pack your own. Also if you are Gluten Free as some of our guests were, pack your own. Breakfast bowls were a big hit! Our room did have a fridge and microwave.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Parking was good. Beds were horrible. No TV unless you had an Amazon account. No microwave. Room had a funky smell. Toilet mostly flushed. Did have hot water and the shower worked. Advertised hot tub and sauna were not working because they've "been waiting for parts all season." Window curtains had holes in them. A dump.
