The hotel was exceptionally clean and the staff was very helpful and polite and knowledgeable. The rooms were comfortable. It would have been nice to have a coffee pot in the room but that is the only thing that I missed. The hot tub was comfortable but it wasn't very hot. Vinnie was very helpful! The breakfast was also excellent.
