This was a fantastic hotel. I got a two bedroom suite with full kitchen for an excellent price for two nights (4 adults). They have a heated pool (the front desk person said they have people swimming all year around!) and a hot tub. The room was spacious, with an electric fireplace in the main room and tvs in all the rooms.
