Rooms were huge, clean, and comfy. Property is beautiful and right next to a park. It is about a block of the main street so easy walk to dining options. Booking a time slot for the hot tub was a little annoying but there just happened to be time available right when we got there so it was kind of nice to unwind from traveling. The only think that didn't really match up with the rest of the property vibe was the breakfast. They had some typical Continental breakfast options but then had prepackaged Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches. Now don't get me wrong, I can eat the heck out of those, but it was not what I expected the hot option to be at a $220+ night hotel.
