It was not until after we had already booked our stay that we found out the spa area was not in service, has been down for 5 years the lady said when we checked in. It would have been nice knowing that going in. Not that I'm that guy that needs to hit the gym while staying over night somewhere but just saying. The room it self was nice enough, big bed, TV, clean bathroom. While sleeping though about every minute heard a drip sound coming from the AC unit? made it hard to get a good night sleep. I think for the money they should at least throw in a comp Breakfast !!

Thank you to the staff for being so accommodating and friendly. Every meal I’ve had has been great at the Cafe, Noodles, and Bar Meets Grill. Having more salad options or juice/smoothie options would be great and a lower end gift store as well. Overall, it’s great!
