Very nice accomodations. Has a large indoor pool and hot tub, and a breakfast that is so good - better than any restaurant we have stayed in. Nice outside patio, and an ice cream/pizza store right inside the hotel. We love staying here to see concerts at the Blue Gate Theater, which is just a walk across the parking lot!
