Disliked: Staff & service
Location was great, shopping outlet across parking lot, Bass Pro Shop really close. Staff was NOT friendly upon check-in. I tried to use a Visa GC that we received for holidays, and they couldn't figure out how to do it, lack of knowledge, and couldn't explain why. Our room didnt seem cleaned well, bathroom floor had hair on it, bedding had some stains. We also had a tremendous issue with noise, kids running up and down halls, and peolpe coming through around 3am really loud(which I realize isn't the hotel staffs fault, but they could have said something to them coming through the lobby) all in all fairly disappointing this stay, I would have overlooked it more, if the staff had been professional and friendly.

We ended up in a Multi-bed Suite because a lot were sold out. The kids (and parents) loved all of the room!! Very clean, easy check in process, and easy to get to! Our room looked over the pond so that was a plus for the kiddos to see all of the geese!

Room was excellent for working. Not the most comfortable for leisure. No room for an extra chair in the room and (i can't believe I'm going to say this) but the pillows were too soft to prop yourself up in the bed. Did like the access to filtered water in the fitness area. Housekeeping was FANTASTIC!

This hotel has become our go to place to stay in the area. Very clean, spacious and quiet, comfortable rooms. Nice bedding. Floors are clean. Great water pressure in the shower. Free self parking. Friendly staff. Breakfast was simple but good. Options to grab and go, or to plenty of seating to sit and enjoy. Hot breakfast was scrambled eggs, cheese eggs, sausage. There was also yougert, cereals, toast and other items. The workout room looked nice. Talked to some kids who had used the pool. They said it was nice but lots of chlorine. This hotel is very close to outlet shopping and Bass Pro.

Loved the smell of the lobby - super clean hotel. Gym was fantastic too - with a VIEW. Michelle at the front desk was exceptional. She welcomed us and was so friendly, kind and caring. Made us feel right at home. Please recognize her! She was working upon our check in Saturday. Thank you.
