Hotel is conveniently located with a bike trail next to the hotel parking lot. Good trail with some interesting scenery. Hotel room was good but nothing spectacular. Would recommend a room not adjacent to pool as it gets a bit loud and had a constant low humming noise through the night. Solid breakfast options Would stay again. Just would want to stay on different side of hotel
