We were greeted with a friendly smile from the woman at check-in. The entire staff was great, along with a delicious breakfast. Our kids enjoyed the pool. We traveled by train so parking wasn’t a factor for us.

The room was nice and the staff were all great. It would be great if their televisions had streaming options. I ordered out and there was no silverware in the room. I wasn’t there for the pool or the hot tub so I can’t comment on that. I would stay there again.

Staff was helpful and the breakfast was delicious. My room was very spacious and clean. Appreciated the hot tub and pool. Would stay there again, because the location was ideal. I was 6-10 minutes away from everything I wanted to see on that trip.
