I liked everything thing I saw in a limited one night stay. The only thing I did not like was NOT being able to close the blinds in our room. Windows we’re open for anyone to see into if they chose. Highly recommend that problem be solved to make it optional for the guest to leave blinds up or down depending on their need for privacy.

Our view was of mechanicals, kegs, smokers, barbecues, garbage barrels & dumpster. It was a beautiful night but we had to close windows because of the noisy equipment. The A/C compressor in the room was very loud each time it shut off. The room itself needs updating especially the bathroom- rust around drain, dirty grout and ancient Moen shower valve. Very disappointed.

This place isn’t cheap, but (in the summer) there are many activities on site so we thought it was worth it. Nice pool, yard games, spa, etc. we enjoyed our stay very much. Also liked that we could check in earlier to use the outdoor pool.

Stayed Labor Day weekend, Saturday night there was a wedding and myself and my boyfriend were woken up to drunken yelling woman in the hallway. Went on for about half an hour before I went outside to ask them to quiet down. Then the next night the room across from us decided to throw a party from 1130-230 until I called the front desk to complain. Quiet time hours were not enforced and for someone with insomnia, it was extremely upsetting when I paid decent money to SLEEP there.
