8/10 Good
"Great family hotel, the cleanliness of the rooms could be worked on. The number of amenities on site was impressive. I could have kept my 3 year old entertained for hours between the playground, the little arcade, corn hole, chalk board or put-put golf. Front desk clerk was not very friendly during check in. Overall worth it and would come back."
