Great winter family get a way
We had a wonderful family vacation stay. Hotel is very clean, and beds were comfortable. We loved the views from the double balcony in the 2 king room family suit. Great location just outside the busy downtown TC.
Pool and hot tub were clean and plenty of towels provided. Kids loved winning prizes in the game room too. Breakfast was delivered promptly to your room at your choice of time. Great recommendation for families. Would stay again! Thanks
