First time we’ve stayed at this property since it’s remodeled two years ago. The gym & breakfast area is much better, the staff wonderful as always. The pool wasn’t open for the season yet but they allowed us to sit outside to enjoy the 80 degree day. Only issues we had is the remodel didn’t allow for any exhaust fans in the bathroom & not enough parking spots.
