5/5 Excellent
"We have stayed at this hotel several times and enjoy the property, location, and amenities. Service is always great. Would suggest improving the food availability at Edgar's after 3:00pm.....the flatbreads were terrible. Also, was unimpressed with the breakfast at Covey. Finally, our room was great....worked well wit our dog, Lucy. However, pillows could be improved and HVAC noise was a bit annoying turning on.....a bit noisey."

Perfect Location, Clean, and Spacious
"The hotel room was clean and spacious. We did not have a balcony, as requested. The pool was heated and that is a bonus. The resort fee covers parking, wifi, and the pool/hot tub and common areas. There is a wonderful outdoor sitting area with fire bowls and heaters. There was daily housekeeping, but they just threw (literally) coffee down, and made the bed. They never refreshed any toiletries, and we had to ask for cups to be replaced. Overall it was better than most places post-covid. There is a lot to do in the area and the location is perfect for exploring all that the area has to offer. The only negative was we booked the restaurant for Thanksgiving. The food was meh and with the price we could have done better elsewhere. The service was not wat you's expect at almost $50 a plate. We were rushed to order and meals were coming before drinks. They did have a kids menu and that was appreciated. There is a lot of dining options in the area and when we return we will probably not have a large family dinner at the hotel. "
