This hotel is extremely well appointed and convenient to the area. We were impressed buy the amenities available outside where there’s a large pool, numerous lounge chairs, picnic tables and multiple BBQ’s that would make this an excellent venue for a family reunion. The manager is extremely professional and friendly. We would definitely recommend this hotel.
