I recently hosted my son's Bar Mitzvah weekend at this hotel, and it was fantastic! The beautiful grounds and clean pool made for a wonderful atmosphere. The staff, especially Lori and Mario, were incredibly helpful and made everything go smoothly, while the accommodations were perfect. However, I did notice that some amenities, like the whirlpool, were not operational, which was disappointing. Overall, it was a great experience for our event and the service made it memorable.
