Great place to stay!
Called the Hotel a couple days before to verify our stay and mentioned would have a small dog and I had both knees replaced. Asked if not on 1st floor could be by elevator. She put us where we were close to a side exit on 1st floor and pool / hot tub right outside our door! Breakfast was also decent! Everyone we saw was friendly! Will definitely stay there again!

Great hotel and staff. Will be staying here again!
The hotel was great, we were able to check in a bit early due to their very generous staff members. Breakfast had a nice selection with different main courses the two mornings we were there. Swimming pool had amazing hours, that we felt like we didn’t need to rush any of our time before it closed for the night. Having our stay close before Christmas, it was sweet that they had Elf on a Shelf, which my son absolutely loved. He kept wanting to go to lobby to see what the elf had done or where it moved to. Only thing that I felt was a little of an inconvenience, was the ice maker was only located on the first floor, which our room was on the 4th floor. Definitely will be choosing this hotel again when we come back to visit family in town.
