Heated Indoor Pool

“I absolutely loved the heated indoor pool! It was perfect for unwinding after a long day. The hot tub was also a fantastic way to relax, especially since it stayed open year-round, rare compared to many hotels. The pool area had a nice ambiance, and I appreciated the chance to swim and enjoy the spa despite the weather outside.” view full review

Spacious and Updated Rooms

“My room was a wonderful surprise! I ended up with three beds, which I didn't even ask for, and there were so many outlets for charging devices. The extra bedroom space was spacious and clean, making it easy for my family to spread out and feel comfortable. The cable and Wi-Fi worked just fine, and having a fridge in the room was a nice plus.” view full review

Ample and Convenient Parking

“I was pleased to find plenty of parking available, even when I returned late at night. The area was well-lit, adding to the sense of security. I felt confident leaving my car there while we explored the nearby attractions. Overall, the parking situation made our stay even better.” view full review

Netflix at Your Fingertips

“I loved having access to Netflix right from the room! Being able to unwind with a show after a busy day was a major bonus, despite needing my own account to log in. It made our evening downtime much more enjoyable, and I really appreciated the added entertainment option in our room.” view full review
