All of the staff was fantastic and we really enjoyed our stay. The food at the onsite restaurant was enjoyable and we enjoyed trivia night too! The workout room was clean and comfortable. Four stars and not five because we had several light bulbs in our room that needed replacing, making our evening time a bit dim.
