Hotel is conveniently located with a bike trail next to the hotel parking lot. Good trail with some interesting scenery. Hotel room was good but nothing spectacular. Would recommend a room not adjacent to pool as it gets a bit loud and had a constant low humming noise through the night. Solid breakfast options Would stay again. Just would want to stay on different side of hotel

We had to stop here during holiday travel due to a snow storm. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Lots of food options close to the property. Itโ€™s a bit of an older facility but was clean and comfortable. Kids enjoyed the indoor pool. Overall, happy we found this place.
