3/20/2009 - The rooms needed some updating, they smell like smoke and mold. The people at the hotel were very accomodating and treated us well. The buffet breakfast was cold and out of most of the food. Posted by Dimple (The Villages, FL)
3/12/2009 - We should have booked sooner and gotten suites, not motel rooms. The rooms were adequate,however ''NO EXHAUST FANS IN BATHROOMS''.

2/26/2009 - The facility meets our expectations. We love the pool area. The rooms are satisfactory, and, while we had a few glitches, the staff was there to make it right. In general, the staff has improved over the first few years of the new ownership. The front desk staff was very accommodating, and my group appreciated that. Posted by Wayne.
1/2/2009 - Good value and good location. You have to let the water run 10 minutes to get warm water though. Posted by Scott.
4/24/2008 - Very poor hotel. Posted by Max (Richland Ctr, WI).
4/17/2008 - They have been trying to upgrade since taking over from Holiday Inn. Some rooms are better than others. Location was good for the courses we played. Lots of choices for restaurantes nearby. Posted by Richard (Windsor, CT).
