BEWARE. Hello, I have given this sometime before reviewing waiting to see if the manager and insurance company were going to make it right, however it’s been a couple weeks and I’ve been blown off after a couple of calls. I woke up covered in flea bites on my legs, I proceeded to go show and tell the front desk associate ,he informed me the manager would call me asap, and that he would refund my room. I waited 3 days, never heard from Pete the manager. I called back on Monday, then he called me back. He said he was going to perform an inspection. Few days goes bye and reaches out to say they didn’t find anything and sends me to his insurance company. Meanwhile I’m down a doctors visit , medicine and now I have to pay $1200 to get my house treated for fleas. And I’m still covered in hives from the bites. Insurance company calls me & im given the run around again, I told them something needs done here. I’m down $1400 with the cost of my room, the least they could do is comp my room. She agreed, she said she was calling hotel, then they would call me back… well it’s been another week and I’ve heard nothing. Stay away, there is some type of insect problem. I will be posting my pictures of my legs, my bills and messages that show how you should think twice before spending your money here with a manager and team that doesn’t care , & doesn’t seem to think things like this are a big deal.

We absolutely loved this hotel! If they would allow me to, I would move in! The lobby is absolutely gorgeous and spotless! Our room was very nicely appointed, well equipped and clean. The whole hotel was amazingly quiet too. We used the beautiful pool as well which was pleasant, large, clean, and warm. The staff in the adjoining Irish pub were very friendly and the food was tasty and well prepared. We will be back!

The room and the hotel itself was very clean. The staff was very friendly. Upon arriving in our room, the smoke detector was beeping (indicating a low battery.) A call to the front desk brought the maintenance guy to our room within a few minutes and quickly changed to battery. I appreciated the immediate attention especially commendable considering it was Christmas Day. The only negative was the absence of a freezer compartment in the mini-fridge, not great for ice cream! We would stay again as this hotel is well above average in almost every respect and clearly rates the five stars.

This is the second time we have chosen to day here and not closer to where are event was. We choose this hotel because it is a quiet clean hotel. Additionally the staff at the hotel are amazing. Specifically there was one staff member at the front desk during the day that made our stay wonderful. We had a little snafu and when I went to the desk to discuss it he was beyond professional, caring, and kind. I am trying to remember his name and I’m falling short but I believe it was Yul. I do know that he works with the school system as well. How welcomed and important he made my daughter feel I will never forget. Whenever we have events in the area we always choose to stay here and will continue to choose to stay here because of how welcoming the hotel is.
