Bumpy, but still great!
Check in was seamless and quick. Very friendly staff. The grounds are cute, the pool is beautiful, and there is a fun area for cornhole and other games. The restaurant food was above expectations. Unfortunately, our room neighbors threw a party in the middle of the night and things got pretty rowdy. It was awful. I called down to the front desk, and requested a room change. It was really inconvenient because I had to move my 10 year old daughter at 1:30am. We slept horribly because of the party and then our adrenaline was high. I was really impressed by the hotel's willingness to help us. It could have been a much worse experience given the horrible neighbors.

Nothing exceptional
Strike 1: No EV charging available. Strike 2: $18.00 for a bland breakfast buffet. Strike 3: Fire alarm at 4:30 am! Wife and I stood in cold parking lot for 20 minutes with no direction, explanation or apology.
