everything here was great including the breakfast, the highway turns does make it a bit hard to get into as you have to pass it up and turn around somewhere.

Absolutely loved it.

We absolutely loved this hotel! We had the pool to ourselves, the breakfast was really great, there’s always someone at the desk willing to help. I do wish that the pillows were a bit more firm, but next time I’ll have to bring my own. Only downside about the 2nd floor was being under someone else’s room but you get that just about anywhere.

Not a bad stay. But someone did enter our room while we were gone and had the sign hanging on the door handle. We found a key card and a list of things on a piece of paper.
