Enjoyed our stay.
Girls at front desk were all super pleasant and accomdating minus 2 of them. Rooms were clean and comfy, swimming was a lot of fun during the weekdays it was quiet and calm, hottub has always been working. Only deal is a lot of nights people like to drink by the pool and its super loud, other than that partys are expected - but irregardless they close at 11 and its kept nice and quiet. Breakfast isnt super desirable but its better than just cold cereal or nothing. Coffee machine by the front door was my go to every morning. Definitely would return ☺️

Just a little getaway
We stayed in a suite with a whirlpool tub. The room was clean and comfortable. My husbands favorite part was the amazing Nespresso in the lobby.

My stay was great. Everything was clean. You could tell the property had been around a while but it was kept up. The only issue I had was a slumber party of little girls running around and using the pool unattended but the hotel addressed it before there was need for a call. Breakfast was great

The first night was horrible as the room that I reserved was not available & was place near the pool…was extremely loud until 11 pm. Once I was able to get the room that I reserved it was fine!

Not impressed
Room smelled like wet dog. When I went to open window to get fresh air bottom window trim about fell off. Mattress was horrible and very noisy with slamming doors all night. Not worth price charged.

College Reunion
We had a nice stay at the BW - it was our college reunion so it was a perfect place to sleep. Plenty of room to have friends meet and talk in the lobby or move over to the restaurant within the hotel.
