The parking area at the front door needs a wider exit. I was stuck in my vehicle for a half hour because people checking in caused congestion. There was no way out.

One of the best stays!
Overall we really like staying at this hotel. Breakfast was good. Room is very nice. Service is good. We love all of the common areas and the location fits our needs perfectly. One area of improvement (although we don’t use it very much) is the tv channel selection - it could use some help. That’s it. Thanks for a great stay!

Hotel is frustrating. For the price, Breakfast should be offered longer. Wasnt aware of time Breakfast was finished. Way too long of a spiel for the employees during check-in. Hot tub jets are softer than bath tub spouts. The fact the employees have to explain the layout should tell you something. Same room numbers on the same floor is a terrible decision. I get it two different places but there has to be a better system. Nice place dont get me wrong. Get more bang for your buck elsewhere. My apologies for venting after I didn't get Breakfast, I'm hangry
