Great location. It is within walking distance to many of the town's attractions but far enough away to get a quiet night's sleep. The breakfast buffet offers many choices and changes slightly daily. Pool is great to relax in. Friendly, helpful staff. Lots of parking. Would definitely stay there again!

Everything about this property was excellent. From the moment of walking into the foyer to seeing our room, the building was clean and had a freshly cleaned scent.
The staff I interacted with were friendly and met my requests promptly and with a smile.
Breakfast was more than I anticipated and even had gluten-free bread available upon request. Yummy food and well prepared.
I would definitely stay at this hotel again should the opportunity arise.

Room was fine but given a double bed quite tiny for two we are used to Queen at a minimum. Pillows were square and small. Pool and hot tub were fine but lots of loud children with no parents to be seen. Quite at night parking ample and there was a bright spot went to the golf club pub for dinner and service was great food great and they had a turkey Easter dinner option really nice surprise. Stay was just fine and did get a good nights sleep.

We had a very positive stay, the rooms are big, and staff super friendly. The breakfast in the morning had a lot of variety, both my kids had lots to choose from.
The pool and hot tub were well kept and clean, the hotel is central and walkable to downtown shops and places for lunch.
Would 100% stay here again
