Very clean and modern but was very busy. Pool and hot tub were packed. Wood laminate flooring in room so we heard lots of noise and banging from doors/feet walking from rooms next door to us. Kept us awake most of the night. Breakfast only had biscuits and gravy for hot option which didn’t work for a lot of families including ours. New place and nice staff but had a lot of disappointing parts to our stay.

It is brand new so I think they have a lot to work out. Very clean and nice. Walls are very thin so you hear things. Housekeeping is not a standard to check in if you stay multiple days even with the sign on the door? Pool and hot tub are awesome pool was heated the pool towels were the size of hand towels. Everyone working seemed to like their job and be very kind. I think they will make some improvements and it will be great!
