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.

My wife and I wanted a weekend winter getaway. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was great and very helpful. The dinning at Oliver's was awesome. It is a little pricy, but we thought the food and service was well worth the price. We look forward to coming back again.
