From the moment we walked into the hotel the friendly staff made us feel at home. Some notable big-city amenities that were included in our stay and/or within our room included:

- Indoor/Outdoor Pool which was a hit for the kids during a very wintery spring break! They loved the fun decor and the fact it looked like were swimming through a tree to get outside.
- Hot Tub to warm up and relax in
- Free Wi-Fi
- Flat-Screen TVs in each room with a great selection of channels to watch
- Hair dryers
