Bed, pillows & sheet were comfy. Air conditioner worked great. Wifi was fast, even at far end of hallway on 3rd floor. Everything was very clean. Bathroom was arranged well & spacious. Low entry tub was a bonus. Toilet flushed quieter than most, not sounding like a jet aircraft taking off. Room was quiet. The entry door key cards actually worked, one swipe & in, every time. Breakfast was terrific. Staff were friendly. There was NO annoying clock radio on the nightstand, showing the wrong time, and like at other hotels, nearly impossible to tune (if you can even find a station worth listening to). Thank you for that! Bass Pro Shop across the street as well as other great businesses (but far enough away for it to be quiet in room). Would highly recommend this hotel.

Perhaps a free pen and small notepad as a door prize 😆. But really, cannot think of a single thing to whine about.

Room was very comfortable and clean. The bed was very comfortable.

The air conditioner was very loud. Could not having the A/C running all night. Need to have a "nightlight" Room gets very dark which we love but getting up in the middle of the night without waking everyone up was a toe stubber.

I don’t eat pork so turkey sausage every morning with breakfast was appreciated. Also pool hours were great for teenage children.

Pull out sofa bed was stained pretty bad.

Everything was very clean and nice. Breakfast was good.

I can't stand the noise from the HVAC but all hotel rooms seem to use the same system. I just use foam ear plugs.

Pool, break, staff were all great!

Needs vending machines! I did not want to take our 4 kids out to go get drinks. I assumed there would be vending machines to use there.
