The staff was great! The whole stay was Great! Very clean Very quiet, The ONLY reason I say 4 stars is because the hot tub is advertised and it was shut down and they have no intentions on fixing it, which is fine but don't advertise it then.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was clean for most part just some dusting issues but generally good. staff was very courteous even though check in took quite some time. Very sparse breakfast since not many guests so not blaming them for that. I wasn't going to ask them to make additional warm food cause it was gone. Cereal it is. LOL Was definitely worth the cost as other hotels in area are considerably more.
