Such an excellent hotel. We walked in and my husband said, “this hotel is dog friendly?!” He couldn’t believe such a clean hotel was dog friendly. Great location with a walking trail out back around the lake and a yummy burger restaurant next door. 10/10 would stay again.

Great hotel
We had a wonderful stay. The room and the hotel itself was very nice, clean and staff was very pleasant. Our 9 year old thought it was the best hotel ever! We will be back for another visit.

Best of the Best!
The 2nd shift front counter lady was amazing! She made our stay even more great by her positive, bright, friendly, welcome everytime we entered the hotel. (She deserves a raise literally the best customer service we have ever had) All staff was very friendly and it had a beautiful view with a hot tub and a pool. Also nice burger restaurant next door with lake views. Family or romantic getaway its perfect location and hotel. The outlet mall is right across the street and you can see Adventureland from the hotel.
