I had a mixed experience during my stay. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly, but the noise levels in the evenings were a major drawback. The parking situation was also frustrating, though the amenities like the indoor pool and hot tubs were nice. Overall, it's a decent spot but comes with some inconveniences that I wasn't expecting.
