Clear instructions, generous size of room, clean. The hot tub was such a great bonus! Restaurant was excellent and offered a generous selection for the free breakfast (TIP: book a dinner reservation before checking in, if you can). Tea and coffee station was appreciated. The pillows and towels were less than stellar and the window coverings are not blackout. Note: there was no microwave or fridge in the room (which was tough if you have a cooler full of food for the rest of your travels).

Great property for one night stay. The staff is very friendly and the free breakfast was great with lots of options. We also ate dinner at the in-hotel restaurant—it was delicious and we particularly enjoyed the dessert.
