Mediocre Holiday Inn quality
Don’t let the spa/resort label fool you. The place had a 1980s Holiday Inn vibe, with a musty barely functional AC unit. Fine if you’re passing through on the road. Not a place to hang around. We left a day early and cut our losses

Disappointed
I have stayed here multiple times and they always ask have you stayed with us before? The TV didn’t work and my plugs didn’t fit the outlet in the bathroom.

Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel and surrounding area was very pretty. The 2 restaurants on property were very good and the staff at them were nice. I was disappointed in the hotel desk Staff, they were not welcoming or informative about the resort. The back of the resort where the lawn games, and vegetable garden was unkept and the dumpster was out in the open.
