Probably stay again

Liked: Was a pretty place, staff were nice. Building next door pretty unsightly. Pool didn't feel heated at all, we were quite cold in it and only stayed in about 15 minutes. Barely any chairs to sit and watch kids at pool and no noise dampening in pool so another families kids screams were deafening!! Unfortunately the heat in our room wasn't working, staff took money off final bill. Plus elevator room was so close to our room we heard the motor constantly which was bothersome. Again staff was nice and breakfast there was great and not lacking!!

Overall it was a good...

Liked: Frint desk people were very friendly. The 1 lady greeted us as soon as we walked in to get breakfast. She was super nice.
Disliked: Being winter with quite alit of snow. We parked in handicap with out proper tag. We had to walk in the parking lot to get to the front door. The sidewalk was clear but there was no shoveled path to get to the sidewalk. I would have had to step over a large pile of snow.
