We had a lovely family weekend at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, perfect for our group. The girls loved the pool area and game room. Breakfast offered a good variety, but there were some minor issues with noise and bathroom space. Overall, it was a solid choice for a family getaway.

My stay was a bit of a mixed bag. The hotel had some great aspects like clean rooms and a comfortable bed, but the overall experience was marred by specific issues. The small bathroom and the noise when closing doors were quite bothersome. The facilities were nice, but there were areas that could really use improvement, especially with the pool temperature and condition of the carpets.

The room was generally clean and spacious, though the shower was cramped and the bathroom layout was awkward. I found ants in the bathroom by the morning, which was concerning. On the plus side, the bed was comfortable and the pillows were nice and fluffy.

The hotel was a bit further from attractions than I would have preferred, about 10-15 minutes away from places like Dow Gardens and downtown. This made it less convenient, especially with kids in tow.

While the pool and spa seemed inviting, the freezing pool temperature really limited our ability to enjoy them. There was also a very strong chlorine smell that was overwhelming.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which was both clean and comfortable. The staff, particularly Jessica at the front desk, went above and beyond to make sure all my needs were met. The pool area was great for my kids, and the breakfast was more than I expected. However, the breakfast area could have been tidier, and it would have been nice to have a bit more lighting in the room. Overall, I found it to be a fantastic value for my money.
