Staff was nice, check in was quick, rooms were clean but the bathroom and a funky smell like wet feet or musty washcloths. Other than that, our stay was great. Comfy beds, nice lobby area, and the kids loved the pool and hot tub.

We came for baskeball tournament in town with several families. we ordered pizza at 930 at night and wanted to let the boys eat together. We were told we could not be in the lobby til after 10pm. So we had to go to our rooms and wait 20 minutes til 10 to come back down and eat as a group. The parking lot was very slippery my son fell going in to check in. The next morning it had snowed and the side walks had not been cleared. The parking lot was not cleared either. which made loading our car hard. (not to mention it was icy under it) We also went down to have breakfast in the morning- there was NO Coffee!! like they had ran out and no coffee could be made. I had already checked out of my room by this time so I could not go back to get coffee.

Very enjoyable stay! Friends and family group to go to a football game. Very accommodating let us check in a little early and worked with us to have rooms next to each other. Clean comfy rooms! Had some younger kids along so was nice option to have a bowling alley/arcade across the street.

Great suite for a family of four. Kids slept in living room area and loved their own bathroom. Would definitely come back and stay again.
