Cook
Pros:

It seems to be the norm for the cook to put out breakfast late. When I stayed for my visit, I was seeing a lot of pilots not pleased with coming down, and breakfast is still being cooked when it should be ready when you are told at the front desk when it will be ready. I stayed multiple nights, and out of those nights, it happened the majority of those mornings. I would say that is my biggest complaint. This was traveling for a class, and that’s my biggest thing: breakfast in the morning, and if I can’t get that, it’s a big deal for my stay!

Well Maintained Property, Fantastic Staff = Great Stay
Pros:

We have stayed here for many years, for many different events, and have held events here as well. The location fits our needs perfectly. Once again with our stay in February 2026, we were not disappointed. Our rooms were clean and comfortable. Our family had 4 rooms and other family from the area coming in and out visiting us. Hotel Staff were all accommodating and gracious with all of us. Topped off our stay with a grandchild getting ill, and staff went out of their way to help us.
I can’t say enough about the kindness and professionalism here. Another year of memories made. Thank you!

My son loved the hot tub, but with the cost and noise problem we experienced, not sure its worth it.
Pros:

Didn't eat breakfast because we left on early flight

Cons:

the noise of the hotel was out of control. Constant banging for almost 5+ hrs. We had a 5 am flight,had to be up at 3:00am to catch the flight and could not sleep because of the noise disturbances from 10pm to 2:30am.
