Dear AnneMarie, I found the hotel so great and my kids enjoyed it so much that we wanted to stay again.. BUT, the hotel is "sold out", & I am sure the sign will say vacancy tomorrow (the day we would like to stay again), & really if you wanted happy customers then you would "find" a room, just from...

Hello, We are thrilled that you family wanted to be able to extend your stay with us. We were sold out for both Saturday and Sunday evening over the holiday weekend and we wish we would have been able to accomodate your request. I would have responded directly but no name was left and we had about 17 requests for... More

I went here with a couple of friends and it was fantastic. The indoor pool with fun slides and water-volleyball was entertaining. It is in a good area and has a very comforting feeling. The cost was reasonable.

We stayed here in Spring of 2011 and again April 27th and 28th of this year. My children love this place, I just wish that I could. We were okay with it in 2011 but thought it a little dirty. This year didn't go as well. I held off my review for a couple of weeks because I thought the... More

I did send a personal email to this poster but wanted to respond on a couple of key points. As a family owned business we take great pride in our property and we are always trying to improve in not just the physical structures but also with our amenities and service. One large hurdle that many of us in the... More

Every room type has been well-maintained, clean, and are a very good size. There are plenty of activities going on all day and into the evening. They have... More

It is very disappointing when reading about a negative experience for any of our guests. I went through trying to locate any housekeeping issue on the two days prior to the 1/2 marathon and though we did have some minor issues, nothing matched this guests concerns. Our number one concern is guest satisfaction and we gladly do whatever is required... More

Decent beds, decent shower, decent rates. Kids love the pool water snake and slide, amount of chlorine will render any viruses or bacteria you bring in instantly sterile.
