the grandkids loved the big heated pool. it was a great break from the cold iowa winters

no breakfast because of covid i look forward to the options you offer.

breakfast was great & staff above what was required!!

she then explained where my room was located, told me about breakfast, the indoor swimming pool hours, and about the pub/bar area they had at the hotel

smell from the fryer from the bar could be smelled the minute you walked into the hotel

very nice fitness center

lots of kids running around in hallways without adult supervision

nice staff, beautiful facility, lots of restaurants nearby, good parking, good value

i have 2 kids and for them to say we had to leave and come back was rude

price it would've been nice/helpful to have a complimentary breakfast- especially traveling with kids

hot water at breakfast wasn't very hot, and the fitness room could be more filled up

rooms, pool, fitness room all clean

the fitness center was a little bit bigger

the fitness room was terrible, an old treadmill and efx machine and a few free weights

the fireplace was my favorite, but the spa tub was also excellent

very clean. everything up to date. beds and pillow comfy. kids loves the pool and hot tub

it’s quite, great gym equipment, clean, welcoming and close to bars

pool was really small and has way too much chlorine

location and cleanliness. pool and hot tub both open with no restrictions.

hotel breakfast was probably one of the best served breakfasts from a hotel that i've ever had

floor of pool could have been vacuumed to remove debris from one day to the next.

i liked the treadmills in the gym area

not have the breakfast,only because i slept in on comfy bed

forgot the tell everyone there was an additional pet fee

and front desk didnt have the right amount of people for the room and didn’t have us in a pet friendly room

and we where charged more for our pet fee than is stated on bookings we had to pay 30

room shared wall with gym and looked out over enclosed pool. not very private and very loud.

gym room and very friendly desk staff

there was no water dispenser in the entire hotel - even the one in the gym was empty

the swimming pool could of been alot warmer

breakfast was great, allowing us to satisfy our crew, before another day of traveling

on-site fitness center was decent

restaurant and bar in the facility.

staff, fitness center, pool, and breakfast

room was clean, staff was friendly, and breakfast had a good selection of gym.

the only concern is about the pool was full there to many people for the space

no fridge or microwave in the room and smaller pool size compared to the size of the hotel.

it would be nice to have a protein choice for breakfast.

) - beautiful views overlooking the golf course

i wish there was some sort of breakfast

good breakfast, comfortable common areas

the breakfast was not a hot breakfast

the 24 hour pool and fitness facilities is the best part as you don't feel rushed to use them

we needed to get on the road before the breakfast started.

great pantry offerings (instead of buffet breakfast/social due to covid-19 restrictions)

the lady at the desk was so great. kids loved her

easily accommodated our need for a crib and allowed choice of floor to ensure quiet kids toys and pool floats available in the pool

very disappointed, we came with a group for kids tournaments and i believe every single family had something negative to say about our stay
