Great kid free stay!

The was a great place to stay! We were looking for something to get away without kids and since this is kid free it was perfect. They were very accommodating to our requests. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were clean. We are already planning our next trip staying here. We did not eat here but within a few minutes there are multiple places for breakfast etc. The hotel does have on site restaurants and they always seemed to be busy and people were saying how great the food was.

This property was perfect for us as we attended the NFMS. Venue is 5 minutes up the road. Great on-site food for the condensed time frames we had to work with. Definitely would stay here again.
